The spooky season is almost upon us, so today's project is a Mint Green Halloween card.  I'm using the Simon Says Stamp Halloween Friends stamp set for today's card and a few other goodies.  It's so much fun making greeting cards for this season, as you can be as silly or scary as you like.  I have so many Halloween card ideas that it's tough to find a place to start, LOL, but today, I decided on Mint Green as my base color to challenge myself to create a cute Halloween card without a lot of black cardstock.
