Hello everyone: I might sound like a broken record but I wish, from the bottom of my heart, that you and your families are healthy and safe in these difficult times we are living. Take care of yourselves and each other.

Halloween is one of my favorite Holidays, I just love making spooky cards with really spooky critters, LOL!! I still send Halloween cards to my grown-up grandchildren who are 22, 19, 17, 16 and 13.
I don't know about you but I love spiders, I think they are marvelous little critters, very beneficial and quite cute. I want to clarify that I don't go around cuddling with them, petting them or anything like that, but you won't ever see me squashing one. When I'm doing some chores or if I see one on a corner, I always have a small plastic glass and a piece of card stock handy so I can catch the little critter and throw it outside, I firmly believe there's more food for them to catch in my flower beds than inside my house.
This adorable little spider is from a super old, 2006 to be precise, Stampin' Up! set called "Best Friends" which I found on eBay after seeing a card made with one of the other images from this set on Pinterest.
I stamped the spider on plain white card stock with Memento black ink, I die cut the branch with a Memory Box die called "
Grove Branch", the pattern papers and ribbons are from my stash, the stamped spiders are from a SU set called "Dark and Dreary" (2010 Holiday Mini) and the sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie, I forget the name of the stamp set, it's also pretty old.
*******************************************************
This is the INSIDE of the card.
The sentiment is I think, from Inkadinkado, the spider web is from another old SU set called "Bite Me" (2013)
I want to play with the following challenges.

You and eBay are very good friends! I think this spider is very cute, or maybe I should say funny. Anyway, I love the stamp and your card. You know I do think Halloween cards are the MOST fun! BTW, I appreciate spiders in the garden and try to treat them with respect. This time of year they string their webs across the paths and I do knock those down, but I hope the spider will build another one in a better place. We do not have any poison spiders here on the Oregon coast, so that's a good thing.
Wow great card! Sketch is great colors are wonderful it's fabulous! Who loves a spider oh my only you! I definitely agree catch and release is appropriate I've been doing that for years.
Brilliant Halloween card, love your colours and use of the sketch. Thank you for playing along with us at SSW2.
