I'll take treats, please! I knew I had just the right stamp for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the current optional theme is "cute or spooky". I look at this dog and I just want to hug him because I think he's so cute and approachable!
I stamped on a big hand cut flag and watercolored with Stampin' Up inks. Most of the stars are those which popped out of dies when cut. I save little things like that in a small container, knowing they'll come in handy someday. All the stars are sparkled up with Black Diamond Stickles. To brighten the night sky I also added yellow homemade resin dots -- 1/8" punched circles with dimensional crystal glaze on top.
Because it's a Halloween card I'll also be sharing at Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge. They're always "anything goes", but do provide a fabulous inspiration board as well. One more challenge inspired the making of this card -- Love Those Pretty Papers. Their optional theme this month is "Halloween colors/papers". These old, but still cute, papers go way back to when I was scrapbooking... probably 20 years ago.

Yep, he looks like he's holding those little paws up saying "Bring it in!" This is a whole lot of cute, Leslie, from the mix of fun patterns, to the banner to that sweet pup! Darling card!
