Have a Spooky K & Company Halloween!

The die cuts above by K & Company "Pumpkin & Friends" are used to make doll-size
'dummy' boards.

       I purchased these die cuts many years ago but lost them temporarily. By this I mean, my things are easily lost in my 'stockpile' in the basement. 

      But, I came upon these creepy little Trick-or-Treaters just in time to decorate the dollhouse this year. 

       To make the doll size 'dummy boards' simply mount these using a white tacky glue onto heavy cardboard pieces. Once dry, paint them whatever color you wish, I chose black.
