OUR DESIGN TEAM FAVORITES:

CarolG: #5 TammyA

Fantastic colouring and use of background pattern, and

super reality sentiment (have you heard that before?).

NanaConnie: #192 Donna M

Donna lost her sweet fur baby, Goliath, a few months back and

this card was her tribute to the many years he shared

how she used a heart puzzle to show how much she misses him.

For this wicked-fun, Happy-Haunting, COLOR-FULL tag creation

with lots of creepy, spooky batty inspiration.

wooooo! chill bumps!

Ine: # 136 Rosina

Love the letters Noel and the little animals on this special formed card.

Lori: #183 Lisa Lynn

I love this beautiful scene, the background is gorgeous and the kitty gazing the sky is adorable!

Lynn: #178 Scrappy Horses

This cat is just TOO much fun! Love the expression on his face. Be sure and check out the spider too....it actually moves! Spooky scary fun

Patti: #24 - Cynthia O

This was hard! 195 wonderful entries!

Cynthia had a fun card that made me smile. Loved the fun image,

the cute family oriented sentiment, and the paper pieced scarf!

Great job, Cynthia!

I fell in love with this adorable Halloween scene! Not only because the critters are so cute, but because they're very well colored and presented on this fun star filled dark Halloween night background! Very nicely done:
