 I really had a blast with this challenge because tags can be so much fun. They are like mini canvases to decorate!!!
I decided to use a really cute image called Witchy Cat you can find her and many other really cute digi images here at  Whimsy Stamps. 


Okay...I will stop chatting and just show you my tag...I tied it onto a large mason jar filled with an assortment of Halloween Candy!!! I love this time of year!!! {{{{{{sigh}}}}}}}

So...for the month of October, I make plenty of birthday cards!

"Spider Eggs" to enjoy!

Yes, Spider Eggs!!! Not real ones of course, but yummy ones!!! I saw this idea on another blog "Happy Little Art", but I didn't have the test tubes that she put her "eggs"  in. But I did have these cute little jars. I bought them several years ago and a thrift store and have used them to store buttons, pins, etc.
I had about 10 of them left and thought they'd be perfect for my "Spider Eggs". The lids were originally gold, but I changed that with my good ol' spray paint!!!
Here they are:

Don't mind the little "glue webs"...I'll just say they add character!LOL

 I am off to work on my Meljen's Designs creation so check back soon!
