Helen chose #5 Paperesse

I just couldn't resist this one! Love the image and the sentiment just made me laugh!

Andree chose #44 Carrie Sheridan

A fabulous card made with wonderful coordinated papers. The clever design shows off some gorgeous die cut cookies and a lovely sentiment. It's a very 'sweet' card.

The image is striking, is's scary, colorful and beautiful and really pops out on that

rolodex card.

Koyel choice #75 Dreja

Love the choice of colours, funny and cute halloween card

Danuta chose ##82 Kathie

Beautiful, very elegant card. I love the embossing and the color of the flower.

Ileana chose #105 Silke

Wonderful background! Violet sky is fantastic. I love the sweet image.

Roni chose #106 Halloween Book - Yvonne 3D Creations

This is such a fun book filled with beautiful images and papers. So colorful and so many fun things to see on each page! I especially love the little ghost, kitty, etc. peeking out of the pages! Just darling.

Dagmara chose #107 Paper Whims

Fantastic work! I really like the use of gauze to make the baby mummy, what a fantastic idea! And the whole thing looks like it was inspired by the painting “Lady with an Ermine"

Carole chose #110 Nicola Gold

I love how Nicola combined three images and coloured them perfectly to create her Halloween card.
