Two horizontal cards. 1. A purple card with three holographic orange jack-o'-lanterns in the center. On the top and bottom are green circles with a hollow center and black circles that are filled in. The circles are textured. 2. A yellow card with strips of black and white houndstooth ribbon down each side. In the center, there is a white rectangle that says "happy spooky season" in red and orange. On top of the sentiment, there are two felt witch's hats diagonal to each other on the top corners and touching in the middle of it. The hat on the left is purple with a black band and yellow buckle. The hat on the right is black with an orange band and a yellow buckle.

Last cards of the season! Happy Halloween, everyone!
