Props on the cheap. Gotta love it. I'm a huge fan of spray painting branches (sprayed a dead tree red one year), and the black looks great.

I can't remember if you decided you were doing a theme this year. If so, does this fit in?

Thanks FQ :)

GF - I love being able to put something together out of whatever I find just lying the house or yard. As for a theme, I'll likely go with the traditional haunted house (with the obligatory graveyard in the front yard of course; though apparently some people really do this). In which case, the birdbath should fit in nicely.

That a very boo-tiful creation! :D I will definitely take a cue from this post and spray paint branches for Halloween.


Have a marvelous Sunday,
