New Challenge at TIOT - Halloween

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge  at TIOT, and our theme is:

👿💀Halloween👻👿

As always, projects of all formats are welcome, and you have 2 weeks to link to us. There is lots of inspiration from my teamies on our blog, so hope to see you joining in!

My tag is a hybrid combination of photos - the moon and the branch with the night sky - and some Halloween embellishments. I am also linking to Tag Tuesday. Pinky's orange and purple theme:



Some pictures taken last week when the skies were blue:





Love-locks, and a huge bike chain lock - somebody's taking things very seriously!














Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

      Thanks Ashok! People who are 'in love' engrave their names on the locks and hang them on a bridge. It's supposed to keep them together for ever! I wonder!

    Halloween is rapidly approaching, Valerie, and the witches and hobgoblins are doubtless preparing to come out to scare the living daylights out of children, who of course want to be scared. There are a couple of houses around here that go more than a little overboard with their outdoor Halloween decor. I wonder what the inside of the house is like? The picture of the ivy climbing up the house is wonderful. It is sooooo red! When I was young it seemed that many old houses were characterized by their ivy, but one seldom sees it any more. I know that some people claim it damages the brick and perhaps that's the reason. But I like it! And the flower boxes in the last image are so bright and colourful. I hope that all is well with you and that your fingers are behaving. Hugs and kisses. David

      I love Halloween, but don't decorate any more. Nor many kiddies come by tricking and treating, but I always have some candies ready, and then, if the kids dont eat hem, I have to sacrifice myself and eat them up, sigh! The red ivy is called Virginia ivy here, and I love it. We used to have it climbing on our house, but the admin had it all removed so it doesn't damage the bricks. It was there for years and nothing was damaged! The house in the last photo is a star restaurant with a famous cook. They offer a 'cheap' midday special each day, but it costs more than I spend on food in 2 weeks, so I don't go there! Hope you are feeling well, enjoying your food and some good wine, and drinking lots of coffee to keep awake! Hugs!

    What a fabulous tag! The colour of the moon against purple hues and the bat silhouettes look amazing and I love the black cat on the tree branch too - perfect 😀. Such lovely views of the countryside and wow, those red leaves on the house are stunning! Thanks for the inspiration and wishing you a wonderful week! Hugs Jo x

    That is a super tag Valerie. I love how you used the real branch and moon photos (rather than a drawing or stamp) with the added spooky images. The witch looks she could be one scary lady.This tag is perfect for TIOT. Hope all is well with you. Hugs-Erika

    Sorry I'm so late visiting. First I had a power outage that lasted over 19 hours, and now I have a very sick kitty I'm trying to clean up after and care for. That's a great tag. I really like your wonderful tag. I love the moon and the birds. It's a wonderful Halloween entry.

    Lovely photos of the bridge and love locks. That was fun to see. I also like the gate at that home with the fleur-de-lis. Beautiful photos showing the flowers are still looking good in your little town.
