CCEE1944 - Halloween or Harvest

For her last challenge as hostess for the CCEE Stampers for the month of October Kelly says, "Let's keep it simple and create a card with anything Halloween OR Harvest -- costumes, candies, spooky things, or just use orange and black!"

The die cut sentiment is by Tonic while the stamped images are from Zombies by Hampton Art.
