House of Cards Challenge: Hallowe'en Inspired

As there are 5 Mondays in July this year, House of Cards have a special 5th week challenge for you all. This week we would like you to make a card using the photo below as your inspiration. You can take the colours, patterns, shapes, anything you like from the photo and use any card making style you want to make your creation.

When I first saw this photo I could not get the colours out of my head - orange, black, white, touch of green and gold. The first thing that came into my head was Hallowe'en, but I thought it was way too early for that. However, My Besties are having a monthly challenge this month to use one of their new Besties of Oz images on a card, so I picked Not So Wicked Wendy as one of my prize digis that I won for another challenge and used this gorgeous witch on my card. 

And here she is....
