Nice Halloween Cat

HERE IS A NICE HALLOWEEN CAT!  Use for greeting card or decoration.  Just right click to copy.  Again, this is from The Graphics Fairy.
Isn't he cute?  You could also use for pasting on treat bags, or for a banner when printing out several copies.  If you right click you can also print right from this page.

Sorry that this is all I have for today.  Hubby had to have 2 pints of blood today at the hospital and the transfusion took 6 1/2 hours, all told!  The day is shot but it is still sunny and a wonderful 73 degrees so not complaining!  I would love you to create with this image and send me a pick, thanks!!

ACORN PUMPKINS

Okay, so here are the Acorn Pumpkins I promised!!  I used Acrylic paints:
red, orange, yellow, brown, black, and green.

Live Oak Acorns (or the larger variety for larger pumpkins)
I removed the caps from the acorns to reveal the flat surface and turned the nut upside down.  This balances your pumpkin to sit flat.  I gave them 2 coats of orange paint and painted the little point as a stem with brown or black.  I painted the caps with all the colors of fall including a dash of green.  After the orange was dry, I painted the pumpkin features with a fine brush and black.  Just make simple triangles of black and fill in or just outline if you want it to look like a light inside.  I put the caps back on the tops of some just for fun.  This was a fun project and I am sure your painting skills may be better than mine-ha!  Show me what you can do....

 There is a typo on the palette, it should say Acrylic Colors, not "corn"-ha!
