Halloween decoration of two skeletons embracing while sitting in a coffin while taking a selfie

A halloween decoration of a couple embracing front to back. The figure in the back appears to be Frankenstein and the figure in front looks like the Bride of Frankenstein.

Two Halloween decorations - on the left is a two skeletons embracing side to side while looking up at a camera or cell phone for a selfie. The skeleton on the left is taller and is wearing a dark pants, dark shirt, dark jacket. The skeleton on the right is shorter and is wearing a floor length dress that has a slit up the leg and is halter style showing the skeletons back. The smaller skeleton has a flower crown. On the right is a second pair of skeletons. One on the right is kneeling as if proposing, the one on the left is standing with a skeletal hand to their chest. This pair has no clothes.

Two Halloween decorations. On the left is a couple of embracing skeletons, front to back. Behind them is a Victorian style ornate street lamp with black detailing. The skeleton in the back has a black top hat and a black cape. The smaller skeleton in the front might have a hair decoration but its hard to tell from this angle. To the right of this decoration is an embracing couple in mid kiss. The figure on the right has brown wavy hair and a black and purple veil. It is wearing a black ruffled gown with a purple tint. The other skeleton on the left is taller and is wearing a dark suit.

Happy to see Michael's bringing the Halloween-Romance themes back for my fellow #romancelandia folks - some decorations to go with your Halloweeny bookstacks!
