    Default Happy Halloween Poster

    I didn't want to do the usual, you know - Pumpkins and Bats and Haunted Houses and Gravestones.
    And I wanted to do one as simple as possible.

    The biggest problem I faced was in choosing the font.
    And I didn't want the usual fonts with dripping blood.
    I even sought advice from a good friend and the suggestion was to use a font that fits in with the playful fun for the occasion.

    Well, I'm still not sure about my choice!

    And you used a non-typical background color.

    Well, yes.
    I didn't want to go with the black, of dark blue.
    Blue was the first colour that came to mind, considering I was using the circle to represent the moon.

    However, I wanted to do something different.
    That's why I went with the colour I did. It also allowed me to use Black and White on top of it.

    I merely added another aspect you did differently. I thought that you were experimenting with the oft-used orange.

    I like that Rik, neat and tidy and a good choice of colours also you don't get many witches like that, they are usually old crones.
