Trick or Treat 2017 Layout

Inspiration struck this afternoon from multiple sources (see the challenge listing below), and I put together this layout just in time for Halloween! I realized after I had already cut the pumpkin paper that the pointed ends of the hexagons were supposed to be on the top and bottom, but I didn't have any more of that paper, so I just ran with it. My cat was eying the raffia as I pulled it out of my stash, but I managed to prevent her from stealing it, and I love the way it looks on the layout. Hopefully you do, too!

Recipe:
I Love Halloween papers (Echo Park)
Hey Pumpkin papers (Crate Paper)
Black, Sunset & Grape cardstock
White gel pen (Sakura)
Raffia (from my stash)
Cricut Artbooking cartridge: title
Cricut Artistry cartridge: hexagons
Leaf punch (EK Success)
Pattern: Stick It Down October Sketch (from Facebook group)

Challenges: Double Trouble #178 Anything Goes - Thing 1 = anything goes + Thing 2 = played along with 3 previous partners + Thing 3 = fall themed image/element; Crafting Happiness #198 Bats; Inspiration Station #66 (inspired by Jack o' lanterns, fall leaves, and raffia)

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #197 (found some EEK! paper that was perfect for this challenge)

Melanie, I think you meant to put raffia, not racial! LOL.
