A finished Halloween card with a decorative pumpkin silhouette.This would make a cute Happy Halloween greeting card to a teacher. It is an easy to make card, and I was able to recycle a piece of cardboard packaging, a magazine, plus all the ribbon sticker was from last year's Michael's Grab Bag.

If you don't have ribbon sticker, you can cut strips of paper and glue them down. You can opt for other silhouette options if you're not interested in a pumpkin - like a ghost, bat, cat, witch, etc.
