Our Final Pink Gem Designs Challenge - Halloween or Halloween Colours

Today I'm sharing my DT card for the new Pink Gem Challenge.  Very sadly, this is the last challenge following on from Janet's decision to close the Pink Gem Designs web shop as from 4 October.

I have absolutely loved being part of the Pink Gem Design Team and working with Janet's fabulous stamps and digi stamps - a huge thank you to Janet and the rest of the Design Team especially Christine who has kept us all in order and organised things so wonderfully.

There is some good news - Janet will still be selling digi stamps through her Etsy shop which you can find here so Pink Gem fans will still be able to get hold of her beautiful artwork.

So, back to today's challenge - our theme is:
