Use them in groupings as a centerpiece for Halloween parties or as a hostess gift for a friend’s Halloween party.

on 10/9/2007 Oh that sounds fun! I like your photo, it rocks. I was checking to see if my article on drawing skulls was redundant, and it's not -- but yours is very, very cool and I may have to try that at a party when my grandkids are a bit older. They'd love it.
