You may have seen my card in the previous post:
My plan was to make a Halloween-y type card with this super stamp from Sweet and Sassy stamps - but nothing went right...
My intention was to make a trifold card:
I got this far and discovered I had cut the background paper every which way
(or every witch way!!)
So I gave up - but I couldn't just dispose of the background paper - so I decided to make some ATCoins with it...
The ATCoins are formed with the paper cut into circles with ripe persimmon distress ink around them. I then embossed the three steampunk insects in black embossing powder. I then added a few buttons/embellishments.
Lost Coast Portal to Creativity now has a second challenge up for October - Pets
I am not sure if you consider my spooky insects as pets - but we often have a pet spider around the house. When Mum was in rehab following her emergency hip replacement, the ladies had named a large spider who lived in the lounge Cyril...
Anyway I will link my ATCoins up to this challenge and the Halloween one.
I would also like to share some items from last year:

Please pop by to see more of my 31DOH Halloween makes... and maybe answer some of my Spot Prizes - all your names will go in the hat and prize winners will be announced at the beginning of November.
Please email the answers to susanrenshaw0404@gmail.com
Before I give you Spot Prize 6, I will just recap on answers to date:
Thanks to those of you who have sent answers so far!!
Spot Prize 1: How many times have I taken part in 31DOH?
Well, I first took part in 2014 so this is my 6th attempt!
Poem written by John Keats
Spot Prize 3 - What is the meaning of 'Or bed'?
On the net this is variously written as 'Or bed' or 'Orbed'.
My take on 'orbed' is that it means a full moon. I think it is written 'Or bed' to give the pronunciation as two syllables - but it could also mean the moon has risen from its bed and is out of bed... what do you think?

Spot Prize 4
I wonder if you can spot the deliberate mistake in this photo?
On the ATC with the bat the background paper is upside down.
Spot Prize 5 - a pumpkin trivia question...
In North and South America, what did archaeologists find to show that pumpkins had been around for hundreds of years?
(a) Pottery with pumpkin designs and shapes
So here is the next question - maybe a bit easier?
Spot Prize 6 - another pumpkin trivia question...
