SSSC137 - Happy Haunting!

It's time for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #137.
I had so much fun using Karen's sketch for this week that I created two cards using it, both Halloween.  This first card I used the adorable There She Goes stamp set Bugs & Hisses along with the fun Spider Web border die.
It's difficult to see but for the images on both cards I added some Spica Glitter pen.
Supplies: Bugs & Hisses, Spider Web border die -TSG, Halloween dp- SU, Ribbon, Buttons, Corner rounder, Spica Glitter pen, Circle Nesties, Foam tape. 

This next card I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set Tag-It's #7 along with the PTI Halloween Prints designer paper.
