I love the flying bats silhouette! That is clever! I should do the Halloween mason jars since I, ahem, have a small collection not being used.

These ideas are great! As a kid, my mom always worked extra hard to decorate the house for Halloween. I remember how excited it made me–I need to do better at the Smith House!
