Thanks, JP! Glad you like. :D

This was our first Hallowe'en destination every year (even before costumes
or candy), so it was a natural for me. I'm glad you have the "landcape"
category included.

If I understand the rules correctly, I can still enter one or two more
entries? Just in case I can think of something horrific.

Thanks,

Pegs. : )

Thank you, Jeanne. As long as it isn't actually "fatal". ;-)
