Halloween Happenings

I used the wonderful artwork of Joel Adams which

you must be licensed to use.  You can purchase his tubes from CDO here

I am using a which is now a ftu scrapkit 

called Its Halloween  

that you can find on Lacaroita's Designz blog here.

Font of Choice I used Burton's Nightmare 

Mask of Choice I used Vaybs mask111  these masks are Here 

I use PSPx4 but should work in all versions

Plugin used Candyeye 4000 (if you don't have just play with what you do or

use none)

Note When I resize I use these settings: (make sure that

pixel dimensions is on percent and in advanced setting

it is smart size lock aspect ratio is checked and resize all layers

is unchecked) also please save often and for placement on the tag you

can always refer to the example tag if that helps.
