Spooky Paper Lanterns
Lia Griffith’s Paper Lanterns are a fantastic way to light up your front yard for trick-or-treaters. Cut out lanterns from black metallic paper. For a frosted “glass” effect, use white vellum.

A diorama is a great way to set the tone for your themed parties, and Karen’s Pumpkin Die-Orama hits the nail on the head for Halloween.
