Halloween Bird....

Someday soon I may get tired of these birds, not today!  I figure there are six birds - plus accessories - I could make a bird card for every person in my address book and never repeat a design!  LOL!   No, I promise, I will play with some other images! *giggle*

It is a new challenge at Aud Sentiments for a "Halloween Sentiment."  Doodle Pantry will be providing the prize and you can submit up to 5 entries!  You have one more week - deadline is Tues Oct 20.  I definitely encourage you to check out the projects the DT has created for you - some great ideas there!
