Trick or Treat with the Mice.....

Hello everyone: October is in full swing and soon, Halloween will be here so, his is your chance to increase your stash of "Spooky" and "Frighting" cards to send to family and friends.
The RETRO RUBBER challenge for this next 10 days is HALLOWEEN so, go look for those forgotten stamps you know you love, ink them up again and join my teammates and I in our gallery.
So hop over the challenge to see what my awesome teammates created for your inspiration.
Here's my card.

No automatic alt text available.

I just adore the House Mouse siblings and, can you blame me? I mean.....just look at these three sweeties Trick or Treating, all dressed up and looking so "scary". The label on this stamp dates back from 2002 but I bought it probably about 5 years ago.
This is a big image so I just stamped it on a piece of watercolor paper with Stazon black ink and colored it with SU markers and some Sakura Koi watercolors, the pattern paper is a piece I found in my box of retired SU DSP, it was just the right size for this panel, phew!! the ribbon is from my stash.

****************************************************************
Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.  I've been finishing the inside of every single card I make since January, this saves me a ton of time when I need to mail my cards.


The sentiment is from an old stash of Halloween stamps, I think it's from Stampendous but I'm not sure, I apologize for this.  The little spider and bat are from a retired SU set called "Googly Ghouls" that came out in the 2012 Holiday Mini.

I hope you play along with my teammates and I in the RETRO RUBBER gallery, we can't wait to see what you create.
