Batty for Halloween, House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #106

 Good morning Everyone! Happy Monday! 

It is Columbus Day here in the USA, so most Schools and Government offices are closed. 
AND... it is the second Monday in October, so it is also Thanksgiving Day in Canada!  Here's wishing a blessed and happy THANKSGIVING Day to all of you wonderful Canadians out there. Hope you will enjoy this special day with your loved ones.

It's also HAPPY HOUSE-MOUSE MONDAY and time for a new challenge at our super FUN blog: House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge!

Our Fab Teamie Sue Drees has chosen it to be a COLOR CHALLENGE using Black, Yellow, Orange & Green with a Halloween theme as an option to keep it open for all of you who might not celebrate Halloween! :)  I personally love this FUN Holiday for all its  Spooktacular times!  :) So get your HM&F stamps out and come join us this challenge. Enter your card HERE, for your chance to win some great prizes from our generous sponsors!!
This week we are proudly welcoming back Simon Says Stamp! & Pizzazz Aplenty

In business since 2002, Simon Says Stamp is striving to offer you the best selection of Rubber Stamps, Altered Art, Scrapbooking, Artist Trading Cards and Paper Crafting Supplies in the world. They stock over 100,000+ items, offer quick service and 1 stop shopping at a great price!
PRIZE ; A $15 Gift Card PRIZE to the Simon Says Stamp store!

AND
Pizzazz Aplenty began with only a bit of bling and some ribbon, but in the last few months, we've added so much more... from cardstock to cello bags, as well as charms, stick pins, brads, buttons, cords, twines, laces, and over 20 colors in flatback pearls and rhinestones. The newest additions are teardrop pearls, button stick pins, leaf pins, heart pins, resin cameos and flowers!
PRIZE ; $10 of embellishments from Pizzazz Aplenty

That's two prizes! So that means we will again have 2 winners!

So what's my take on the COLORS ???  How about a Halloween card using the newly released HM&F stamp called:  "Interview with a Vampire". Isn't this scene the cutest?? I sponged in the Green, Yellow & Orange Colors onto the sentiment, main panels and bottom border. The rest is layered with the colors.
