Description
Deep twilight blues and forest greens saturate this delightfully eerie Victorian-era Halloween greeting card, where a witch emerges from an enormous jack-o'-lantern wearing a traditional red pointed hat and red cape over a green corset-style dress. A black cat perches on her right shoulder while an owl settles on her left arm, surrounded by at least one bat and stars scattered across the crescent-moon sky.
