Hello!
The current challenge on the House Mouse Challenge is to use any combination of Orange, Purple, Lime Green and Black to illustrate the theme of "Spooky, Sweet & Colorful". If this isn't a perfect everything to use my favorite shades of Stickles, I don't know what is! I made this poster for my friend Verda - the lady of the Monday candy/hug - as my weekly thank you. Verda has poor eyesight so I try to make things that she can see with her magnifying glass and her visiting nurse to help. I hope this isn't too busy for her - but then she loves a challenge and we have great laughs at the misinterpretations! I tell her I like to keep her on her toes - which I don't know what that means exactly, but it is a phrase I grew up with. :<)
I started with a spooky tree that I found at the Dollar Store and went from there. The cute little trick-or-treat mice are stamps from the "Halloween Clear Stamp Set" and you can find it at http://www.house-mouse.com/ To see all of the wonderful inspiration of the DT and the equally creative entries to this fun challenge, go to the House Mouse Challenge at http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/ and add your project!

Thank you for stopping by today! We have a very foggy day here in this part of WI - it is to be warm temperatures for today and tomorrow and then COLD temperatures return! Hopefully they do not stay yet - I am not looking forward to winter this year. Wishing you a happy day!
