Freshly Made Sketches 110

Since Halloween is tomorrow I figured I better get one more spooky card in!  And Rita's sketch for Freshly Made Sketches put me in mind of a big spider web!


I love taking big images and cutting them into four squares, so that's why I thought a spider web would work well with this sketch.  I embossed it in black so that it would really stand out then embossed a couple of scary cats in black and orange to complete the spookiness!  I varied a little from the sketch by adding that fourth square, but I think Rita will forgive me.
