Bat-iful party invitations

It must be late, because I can't come up with a very good play-on-words for the title of this post. These invitations were my other project last year while awaiting Tessa. My sister was in town to help me with childbirth, so the least I could do was make her Halloween party invitations.

These were fun to make, and much easier than the Haunted house invitations I had made for her years before, with windows and doors that open and close. (Yes, insanity!)

I found the inspiration at an invitation shop online (sorry I don't remember where). I used black 12 x 12 scrapbook paper, and cut it in half to make 2 sets of wings. I designed the orange inserts and printed four invitations per 8 1/2 x 11 page. I made a template to cut the wings making sure to leave enough room in the center for the orange insert and folded and scored the wings to give them veins. (Clear as mud?)

Happy Haunting!
