I love vintage postcards! Actually I am a collector, mainly of the Christmas cards. Lately I have found on internet some gorgeous Halloween cards. My eyes caught on two of them, because they were lovely and because I have found inspiring elements in them what I could do myself.
So here are the vintage postcards:
On the first one the gold embossed stars and the text were inspiring to me, and on the second postcard I liked the scene and immediately imagined it with Tim's dies.
And voilà my card:

Fabulous inspiration postcards and a fantastic creation you made from them both. Love the cat seemingly hissing at the pumpkin which looks as though he's laughing back at him and the harvest moon looks amazing.
