Text on Card
THE HALLOWE'EN NIGHT
Description

On the left, a jack-o'-lantern-headed figure bows forward wearing a striped shirt and dark shorts with white socks and shoes, while a young child in colorful layered skirts and a white bonnet stands on the right. The composition is framed by a decorative checkered border in autumn colors, with a starry night sky and silhouetted bat completing the spooky atmosphere. The hand-lettered text 'THE HALLOWE'EN NIGHT' captures the essence of the holiday celebration.
