          I decided that I would use the Flat Back Treat Box pattern newly posted in the Splitcoaststampers web site and two Halloween images from Fred, She Said Designs. I think the Halloween images are so sweet . I tucked the puppy dog named Halloween Rosey into the edge of the box so that he would be in front on my design and I used a spring to hold the Emma the Cat out from the back of the treat box to give the image some depth and movement.

          To complete my treat box I added a ribbon, some glitter, black Magic Mesh and a sentiment.
