Halloween Card

Happy Thursday Everyone!  Hope you are all having a good day.  I have a sick little one at home today.  Thought I would make a quick card while he is sleeping.  Making Halloween cards is new for me.  I don't have any holiday stamps or Cricut cartridges so I had to improvise.

I used Recollections card stock and Rock Princess Cricut cartridge.  The cat had on headphones but I cut them off.  The bat wings were on a heart but I put them on the skulls.  I put orange brads from American Crafts for the eyes on the skulls.  I popped up the skulls to give them a 3D effect. I used my computer to print Happy Halloween.  And the ribbon and button are from Michael's.
