Pretty pumpkins!

Julie and I have been glittering some pretty pumpkin stems for our Fall festivities.

They are quite magical looking...

especially if you find some pumpkins with interesting or long stems.  Kind of Seuss-ical.

And if you saw my "purple queen" a few posts ago, you can now see that I am really "into" the characters on decks of cards...

This is my Halloween card this year.  The Queen witch is saying "Off with his head" (to the tune of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland") as she holds the King's head, dripping with blood, on a spear.  The Jacks in the background are ready for revenge with their weapons and the Jokers are dashing around doing their thing.  Love those Jokers!  A few black bats and a few black snakes add to the sinister feel, I think!  he he he!
