Vintage Halloween Greeting Card Black Cat Pumpkin Witch
Text on Card
Avoid grinning black cats on full green moon, If your lover is true, he'll come back soon, It breaks the charm, the witches scream, And never return, till next Halloween.

The scene glows with striking chromolithography rendered in rich blues, vibrant orange, and metallic gold accents, while a jovial witch's profile gazes from the left at the supernatural tableau. Stars pepper the night sky above, and the card's whimsical verse playfully warns of Halloween mischief and ghostly returns, capturing the supernatural spirit of early holiday celebrations.
