Stampin- Up! Out On A Limb &
Grateful Greetings
This week's Pals Paper Arts challenge is theme based. Halloween is just around the corner and it's never too soon to "Go Goblin!"
I decided this week to use some very traditional Halloween colors on a symetrical card and let the components frame the sentiment. The components are all multiple stampings of a single image. How'd I do?

Putting It Together Tips:
- The first thing I'll share with this project is measurements as I've received so many comments that you liker/need to get those. The card is a basic A2 card - 4 1/4'' x 5 1/2'' The black matt is 4 1/8'' x 5 3/8'' The horozontal rectangles measure 1 1/2'' x 3 1/2'' and the vertical rectangles measure 1 1/2'' x 2 1/4''
- The Stamp-a-ma-jig makes easy work of alignment for the images from the Out On A Limb stamp set. Most images were stamped twice except for the jack-o-lanterns which were stamped three times.
- Find the center of the black matt and imprint the sentiment, but not before passing over the sutrface with the Embossing Buddy to reduce stray powder cling. The same is true for the other images embossed in black.

I hate to be redundant, but "great color block" came to mind without reading the above 15 posts. Great work!

Love it, Mike! How creative to use the multiple stamping of these adorable images! Like Ben said...what a fun retro-type card! I remember wearing color-blocked dresses with white go-go boots back in...well, we won't mention the date! A great job!
