Julia Aston shares a sweet project that can be used as home decor or a spook-tacular gift! She used the Basket Die along with the Spring Leaves die with DCWV papers to create this Boo-tiful basket of Jack-O-Lanterns and topped it off with my Bird Thinlit die. I dare say the bird die makes a fine crow when cut from black card stock.
