Hello

Happy Friday friends!

I usually never make cards for Halloween, but here a friend is coming to visit, a little scary I think...but not too much.

I have used paper from Mr. Fix It paper pad for the background and then die cut an oval out of black paper. After I attached it to the card, I painted the legs and the spider thread by hand with black and white pencil. Then I glued on eyes and die cut the Rox Stamps Hello and added that too.

That´s about it, I think.
