C.C. Designs: Vampy Wishes!

Happy Friday everyone! C.C. Designs had an awesome, spooktacular release in September, and with Halloween right around the corner I decided to color up Vampy Wishes! Isn't he amazing?! And that bat is just the cutest thing ever!

The bat paper was from an older Recollections 12x12 Paper Pad called Haunted Estate. It was originally orange with the bats. My tip of the day....if you have decorative paper that doesn't match, color it!!

The entire Halloween Release was a lot of fun to create with, and I just couldn't let the month end without giving this fabulous vampire some more exposure. We hope to see you creating and sharing with us on the C.C. Designs Customer Facebook Page.
