WMSC #115 - Hocus Pocus Graveyard

Today I have another Halloween card for Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #115, a cute sketch by Jennifer Holmes.  
I thought this sketch reminded me of my Madison Grand Window Die and there are so many ways to use that particular die with Waltzingmouse Stamps...almost every stamp set could be turned into a card looking in or out of that great window.  I decided to make a Halloween card and used Halloween Party and Hocus Pocus to create a spooky scene as you look out my window.
Waltzingmouse stamps Halloween Party, Hocus Pocus, Madison Grand Window
The patterned papers are by MME, Haunted Collection and the graveyard scene is from Memory Box (Graveyard Landscape).  Instead of the bow in the sketch, I added a string of Halloween lights in orange and gray from Cheery Lynn (Christmas Light Swag).  Thanks for taking a look at my Through the Window Halloween card.
