Thick black yarn spells HAPPY HALLOWEEN in two stacked lines across the upper half, its soft, fibrous edges reading as plainly handmade. Below, a band of three carved jack-o'-lanterns alternates with two small black cat silhouettes, surrounded by sprigs of olive, tan and rust leaves, two golden crescent moons and small stars.

Dense, looped yarn strands stand in raised relief, casting tiny soft shadows, and the coarse weave of the linen shows through the unstitched background. Soft, even light keeps the mood warm and rustic.
