Pumpkin Fest!!!!!

Hello everyone: I'm super late today with my post, one of the filters (protein skimmer) on my 75 gal. marine tank was acting up, making this weird noise and vibrating a little so I had to check it out, disassemble it and clean some sand that got into the propeller, then put it back together and now it's working fine.
Anywho, I have a fun card to share with you for one of my favorite times of the year.....HALLOWEEN!!!!!, aside from Christmas, I love decorating outside and inside, hoping the weather will cooperate so I wont be stuck with tons of candy, you know how it is, right. So here is this card that I will link up to a few challenges listed at the end of this post.


Aren't this pumpkins a riot? I'm not entirely sure if they are from Penny Black or somewhere else, I neglected to save the packaging so I apologize for not giving the name of this cutie pies.
I stamped them onto a piece of Canson water color paper with Stazon black ink and colored them with SU markers, the bat die cut is from Memory Box (I think) and the sentiments are from a bunch of sets that I have, stamped and punched out with the retired SU Word Window punch.
The pattern paper is from my Halloween stash.
As always, I finish the inside of my cards, it saves me a ton of time when I sent them out to family and friends. Here is a picture of the inside of this card.


This images are from the retired SU set called "Dark and Dreary", I love all of this images, this gate is really spooky.  I stamped them using SU markers, applying them to the stamp and blowing a bit on it, then I sponged a bit of black ink to make it look a bit more dreary.

I would like to enter this card onto the following challenges.

Welcome to the Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch Challenge 207 (PCC207) hosted by Pam Staples, SunnyGirlScraps.  #papercraftcrew #challengeblog  #cardsketch   Play along at www.papercraftcrew.com

Thank you, my friend, I've realized I don't have any Fall cards so I better get busy.
That tank is about 10 y/o, I love it, requires a bit of patience and dedication so your fishies are happy and healthy.
