Button Pumpkin and Ghost

Pin It
Button art..it's everywhere these days. I really wanted to do something festive with all the buttons I have laying around and thought these would be cute.
I really like how the pumpkin turned out. I simply glued buttons onto cardstock then hot glued that onto the burlap. 
Rubbing a green stamp around the stem gave it a little bit of definition that I was looking for. 
 The ghost on the other hand...is not my favorite. Hubby says it looks more like a mummy and I think it looks like a sheep haha! What do you think? 

Have you started on Fall/Halloween decor? We're still having 100 degree weather here in California so it's kind of hard to get in the mood to decorate for fall, but I'm slowly putting things together. I'm looking forward to enjoying Pumpkin Spice Lattes in chilly weather.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you're having a fabulous day!

  1. I love the little button ghost with the big eyes. He looks nothing like a mummy or a sheep. I'm trying to get in the mood to decorate for fall but like those of you in California, we're having weather that doesn't feel quite like fall. I'm going to give it another week or two before I start to worry about decorating. Maybe by then I'll be having my own Pumpkin Spice Latte.
