"Happy Halloween"
Alphabet 32 Cross Stitch Pattern

When designing this Happy Halloween Alphabet, I was reminded that Fall is approaching and nothing seems to ring in the season like Halloween. Tiny girls prance in their tutus and princess gowns. Little boys don their favorite superhero or monster costume.

Home decorating ranges from a bowl of candy on a chair by the door to entire yards made into a cemeteries with "live" zombies that suddenly spring up to scare the wits out of anyone brave enough to venture near.

We are, thankfully, ages from some of the more "colorful" roots of this tradition. In America, Halloween simply means (mostly) kids dressing up and trekking door-to-door for as long as the accompanying adult can last.

This Happy Halloween Alphabet comes complet with graphic letters and 27 separate images to capture the fun of Autumn's first holliday.

This Halloween Alphabet is packed with 27 different, mini, Halloween-specific graphic letters. Also included is a complete, picture-free alphabet set with both upper and lower case letters. Finally, you get a set of each complete image to make other image/letter combinations or to use the images apart from the letters.
