Hello and welcome to the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop where our theme is Halloween. If you have hopped over from Rachel Macleod, welcome. In the UK Halloween isn’t really a big deal, certainly not on the card front so I enjoyed the challenge of coming up with a suitable card.

Whisper White – 5¾” by 4”

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I glued the ‘In Good Taste’ dsp to the larger Whisper White panel and then to the Basic Black card front.
