It's getting a bit closer to Halloween. Here is a greeting card design I am sending out to a card company. I have such a big stash of Halloween designs. And for some reason I am not sick of the whole Halloween color palette. I need to get my Christmas groove on, I do get tired of red and green although I think Christmas can be done in a larger color range. I collect shiny bright ornaments so that tends to be the holiday palette that I lean towards especially once WWII began and they started using pastels in the colorings. You would think that I would like Easter and Spring with my thing for a pastel Christmas but my childhood Christmas was full of Shiny Brights so that is what I like. Maybe my childhood is what made me never tire of Halloween also. My mom always decorated the house every year, remember those old paper decoration that would expand accordion style? Wow! The gift industry has come a long way since then!! halloween decor is serious business now! I have considered have an entire Halloween portfolio when I am at Surtex this spring!
