Halloween Greetings Vintage Card with Elfin Children & Mushroom

A massive glowing mushroom sheltering two blue-skinned, pointy-eared elfin creatures—one wearing an orange cap and crouching protectively, one sitting in the grass looking mildly lobotomized—against a starry night sky suggests Halloween greetings courtesy of fungus-dwelling forest goblins with jaundiced extremities. The card's chirpy rhyming promise that 'these be the spirits that haunt you all year' is doing a lot of heavy lifting, given that the artist apparently decided the most festive Halloween image was two vaguely amphibious children squatting in the dark under a suspicious toadstool. The orange accents on their hats, collars, and boots suggest someone tried to make these nightmare sprites 'festive,' which only makes the whole affair more aggressively unhinged.
