Halloween is just around the corner, and I couldn’t resist creating a playful card that mixes spooky vibes with a touch of cuteness. This one features a haunted house, glowing moon, and of course, the Official Candy Inspector—a sweet little critter ready for trick-or-treating!

I wanted this card to have a mix of eerie elements and cheerful details, perfect for Halloween. The haunted house is bold and dramatic in black, with glowing yellow windows that look lit from within. I blended the background with green to dark tones to give it that spooky night-sky feel. A large moon and a few flying bats finish off the background scene.


To balance out the spookiness, I added an adorable critter dressed as a witch, holding a jack-o-lantern candy bucket. He’s ready to check out all the sweets and keep Halloween fun instead of too scary!


Key Details

  • Background: Ink blended in shades of green fading into darker tones for depth.


  • Haunted House: Die cut in solid black with glowing yellow windows tucked behind.


  • Moon & Bats: The big yellow moon adds a strong focal point, with bats flying around for movement.


  • Candy Inspector: A cute critter wearing a witch hat, holding a pumpkin candy bucket. This ties in the sentiment and adds personality.

Final Touches

The entire scene is framed with a stitched rectangle border as part of the die for a clean, finished look. The bright pops of yellow against the darker background really bring this card to life, and the cute critter makes it a card that’s fun for kids and adults alike.
