Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #7

I created this halloween card for the Peachy Keen Stamps challenge. The challenge was to create a card using the color purple, a pumpkin and zig zag. The stamps I used are Peachy Keen Monsters and More. I cut my dolls from Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up. The card was cut with Cricut A Child's Year. I used ric rac for the zig zag and also I used my sewing machine and stitched some zig zag on the card too.
