I added a short description, below, of each picture for y'all.
Ghoulie Gourds
When 12 o’clock draws near
A pair of Ghoulie Gourds appear !
A rowdy, randy twosome,
Kinda shocking and oh so gruesome!
No, this ain’t no time for saints,
But plenty “o” time for haints !

I LOVE what you did to those gourds! They are so cool! Their collars remind me of marigold flowers!
As always..I am utterly amazed at the FABULOUS art you do!!!!!
Love the music also.
Thanks a bunch Ann,the music can get a bit jarring, sometimes even I
turn it down but it's a part of Bone*Head*Studios!!!
