Halloween ATC Weekend

This Halloween weekend I participated in a big trading session on Illustrated Atc's (dot) com. It was an organized event where everyone had the chance to make atc's (during the weekend) in the theme of Halloween or Fall.

These are the cards I made, and traded with other members. :)

-Pumkins and Gourds.

-Candy!!!!

Candy!

There are so many subjects you end up tackling when you particpate in ATC Swaps. Its good. It challenges you, and forces growth.

You may have noticed that for the ATC's I make for Swaps, they always come in sets of three. This is because in the plastic binder pages we use to store the cards we collect, there are 9 slots. 3 sets of 3.

Feb: Candy Swap
- Eat Some Worms
- Kiss
