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.

I find you have some adorable stamps in your collections! This one is a keeper for sure. Loving those lovely papers and I also have some with some age on them. I'm trying to use some of these papers because there is just so much! Those stars are just perfect as well!
Well this little pup certainly does look huggable! He's awfully cute popping out of the pumpkin like that. Love how you've designed a wonderful background using those patterned papers too. The stars are perfect accents for this sweet card.
I'd love to give this adorable dog treats and lots of hugs! This happy card makes me smile today. Such pretty patterns and pops of color. The banner is such a clever idea!
