colors of the season

there's a lot of black and orange going on and this piece responds to two color challenges of the season:
at the gecko galz yahoogroups it is the "black and orange" challenge;
at the unruly paper arts reader art quest 1 it is "black."
finally i'm linking up to the "hallow e'en" challenge at dream valley challenges.

even in the scan i think you can see pretty well that the black paper here is special -- it is the from the leather paperline at paper temptress.  although it really looks like black leather it handles like paper and it was fun to use. the owl is from the "owling for you" collage sheet at gecko galz.  the rest are stash goodies.

love to all.
