Monday Challenge #30

Happy Saturday!  I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend so far!!  I have a fun night of crafting with a couple of great friends ahead of me tonight, which I'm really looking forward to.  I got a head start on some projects this morning, too!

This week over at My Craft Spot, the Monday Challenge is a 3D Halloween challenge.  Last year I decorated a clear pail for Christmas as part of a class I took.  I had been debating creating one for Halloween because I've seen so many cute creations out there in blog land lately.  This challenge sealed the deal for me, so I went out and bought some clear pails and got to decorating.

I started by putting together strips of paper to line the inside of the can.  The top layer is red at the request of my sweetie who said that he thought red was best because it looked like blood.  Okay!?!  LOL!

I added this little pumpkin-guy, and chose this face from my Peachy Keen stamps because I thought he looked a little mischievous.

 I attached this cute bat with a couple of glue dots on one wing so that he sticks out from the pail a little bit.

 I added a rosette with a little pumpkin to the lid for a little something extra, and decided to give the little pumpkin a scared expression.

Thanks for stopping by for a look!!
