Frankie Shakes Up Halloween with the Tricks & Treats Bundle

Today’s card highlights the Tricks & Treats bundle, a not-so-scary cast of Halloween characters (like Frankie) that you can stamp and crop.

WHAT I LOVE! The zig zag die adds the perfect pizzazz and certainly can be used to spice up a card for any occasion and in any color.
