Description

"Halloween" announces this delightfully eerie greeting card, which features a gleeful witch in a flowing red dress and pointed hat, dancing on the ground. She's accompanied by a mischievous black cat holding a broomstick and a grinning jack-o'-lantern with an anthropomorphic face and leafy crown. The deep blue nocturnal backdrop, luminous full moon with a face, and silhouettes of distant birds (likely bats or crows) create an enchanting, slightly spooky atmosphere.

Subjects

witch, black cat, jack-o'-lantern, broomstick, full moon, silhouetted witches

Printing Notes
