Monsterrific Halloween Card!

So I was kinda all over the place with this card! I had an idea in my head and just could not get it to translate on my card front! But I needed this longer business sized card to be flat so I could mail my skittles inside, and this was the end result. I like the monster, and I like the spider, just not together!
