I'm impressed all to bits Hazel!!....lovely job!!... : )) I did the layers the same way you did....otherwise it got a little confusing....I also kept renaming my layers (1,2,3 etc) because I found my V8 would reverse the order of the layers when I duplicated them; it would put layer 9 at the top instead of layer 1...this way it was easier to keep them in order...

Thank you Sue, and I was thinking just the opposite. I like the look of everyone else's. I thought my opacity or something else just was not right. Carol

Another nice one!!! Judy

I love Halloween. I have more Halloween decorations than Christmas. I do what I call cross over decorations. I decorate for fall in the beginning of Sept , then add the Halloween decorations to the existing fall decorations. Once Halloween is over I take down the Halloween decorations and leave the fall decorations up until after Thanksgiving. For simple door decorations I would get a Halloween wreath for on the front door. There is all kind from whimsical, scary, to grotesque. And don't forget the pumpkin. Nothing says Halloween more than a carved pumpkin. If you don't want to carve a real one they sell plastic carved ones. Another thing that the kids get a kick out of is the dollar store rats. I have about a dozen or two and have them on the porch and walkway. Another simple thing you could do if you have an electrical plug outside is to shine an orange or purple flood light on your front door. I use outdoor timers on my decorations. It is a pain to plug them in and unplug every night. Even though I decorate I don't get any kids due to living on a private road. But the 3 other neighbors and my grand-kids enjoy them. This is from last year. It is hard to see but there is real deer bones hanging down the sides of the leaf garland. You could use anything, skeletons, pumpkins, bats, etc.
