Jack o' Lantern Card

This was supposed to be a quick and easy card. Well, it was easy, but not so quick. Sometimes, I get all caught up in choosing the right papers and it takes me forever to decide. That was the case with this one. I ended up using digital paper from Granny Enchanted and I made the striped paper the sentiment is on. So, this is what I came up with:
Size: 4.25 x 5.5
Torn Vertical Paper Strips: digital papers from Granny Enchanted
Striped Paper: designed by me on the computer.
Sentiment: From a freebie by Far Far Hill called Vintage Halloween Décor.
Jack o' Lantern: Black circle is plain black card stock. The face was cut from the Autumn Celebrations Cricut Cartridge. The green "glow" of the jack o' lantern as well as the purple shimmer paper are scrap.

I know the colors I chose are not traditional Halloween colors. I wanted the dark burgundy to kind of represent dried pools of blood.

I think this card turned out kind of creepy, which is exactly what I was going for. What do you think?
