It's Time for Haunted Houses

I can't say enough about how much I like Halloween.  Probably  because as a kids, we didn't get much  money to spend on candy and treats, so Halloween to me was a bonanza of sorts.   So  many fun memories of trick or treating late until the late evening hours.  Hoards of kids would descend on all the houses and most everyone gave out treats.  Very few of us wore commercially made customs..  Most everyone had something made from things around the house   Next to Christmas, Halloween was the best!

Made a few of these Halloween haunted houses from a cut file from Erin Doran.  By changing up the paper colors and embellishments, each house looks a little different.  I affixed them to these great wooden ovals I found at the Dollar Store and added orange fairy lights in them give them a special eerie night
 glow.  

Here's the first one in shades of brown, dull maroon, burnt orange, black and gray:
