I think I'm going to order jack o' lantern luminarias and put battery-operated tealights in them...also order a candy corn wreath.
Has anybody else noticed that in the past few years, purple and poison green have apparently joined orange and black and yellow as Halloween colors?  like the purple for wizards' capes and the green of witches' or Frankenstein's monster's faces?
Any other ideas? What will you do to decorate your place? |
I don't decorate for Halloween. I have nothing against the holiday but I'm just too lazy. I barely get a tree trimmed by Christmas!
However, I do quilt a lot and in my travels for the perfect yard of batik, I have definitely noticed the seasonal fabrics incorporate purple and bright green mixed with the "traditional" Halloween colors. I actually like the additional colors.
So when does everyone make the kids stop trick-or-treating? My D's last time was her 8th grade year and it will probably be the same for my son.
