Winners - Challenge#46 - Theme

Good morning! I hope you all had an enjoyable Halloween. Here in the States Halloween is enormously popular and there were several events over the weekend in Northville. It finished on Monday night with the kids in our sub-division going round "trick or treating". You could hear the laughter and fun - fortunately it was reasonably warm and dry too!

We had so many wonderful submissions for our Halloween challenge - 3D, tags, cards - the thumbnail display was brilliant. It made it very had to pick our winners, but we have decided.

Such a fun card. For those who don't know, this is based on Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.
