Hi Annielu, nice to "see" you again. I went to the Martha Stewart site last year and got her free downloads for black cats and mice. You can do them all black (or black with glitter) or you could actually paint them with details.

We have a post somewhere on here of all the sites that offer free patterns, that's always a good place to check, and heck, even children's coloring books often have cute designs that can be cut out and painted. Your local library may have a few books or craft magazines with patterns too.

As for patterns in decorative painting books, I'm sure you know they are copyrighted, so we aren't supposed to share copies of those.

Hope you have lots of fun painting on your vacation. Please come back and show us your creations. ;o)

Hi Luvs! Thanks for the info, I'll go check them out! Nice to talk to you again!Annielu

Annielu, here is one by Susan Kelley that is free. It's a balck cat with spider webs on a purple back ground.

Annielu, glad to have you back with us! Be sure to check out places like The Artists Club and your favorite artists websites, they all have free patterns and you never know what you will find. Deco paints website have lots of patterns, some for painting and some for other crafts that can be used for painting. Isn't painting for Halloween just the most fun!
