Description
Autumn harvest imagery frames this charming Halloween greeting card, where a menacing jack-o'-lantern with a carved face and sinister expression looms beside bundled corn stalks, with two children peeking out from behind or inside it. A luminous full moon presides over the scene, and the whimsical character design exemplifies a genteel approach to Halloween imagery. Elegant serif typography announces 'Greetings for Aallowe'en.'
