Macabre Monday HDH150 "Oh My Gourd!!!"

Good Evening, All


I always thought this Nursery Ryhyme was off. So I had the Pumpkin Goodwife turn the tables on Peter. 
The challenge at



Had the perfect challenge; here is the remit.


You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece
 that utilizes, mimics, infers, or is otherwise obviously
gourd or pumpkin inspired.

Well, I have used a pumpkin rhyme, and altered something
digitally to make it look like a pumpkin. I have used 
it to make a dark piece and
 I think it fits the challenge theme.

I also used halloween colours and added 


from

I found a little trio of berries in a digi kit and brought it into

 Serif Craft Artist 2
(new today!!)
 I could not wait for the disc and 
downloaded it from Daisy Trail today!!
I may be in love!!

So, I cut the berries until I only had one, resized it and altered the color so it more closely resembled a pumpkin.(Work with me here!)

I used the eraser tool to make a "carved out" face  in the pumpkin and added a backing paper from a digi kit.

I had found this little royalty free image of a scared man
on the internet a while ago and had a few ideas of how to use him. I think this is one of those times!
 
I decided he was Peter and I put him in the Pumpkin Shell for a change! He! He! He!
I don't think he likes it in there lol!
I then added the Webby Corner here and there for effect. 

Affectionately,
Vee xx
