Thread: Got the invite insides finished!

Tweet

We're doing the little coffins with a cool little skeleton inside, clutching this:





The skellies we picked up in bulk from the dollar tree; they have a pull cord in the top of their head that makes the eyes light up and the teeth chatter. They are adorable! (and I 'll post pics of the completed invitations when I get a chance)





.

Very cool!!! We all must be $1.00 store junkies because I bought some of those skellies to put in my prize baskets! Love the pic.

Where did you find the picture of the graveyard with the blank tombstones that you personalized?

I'm a graphic designer - so I have access to lots of stock art.

Ooh, now you have to share!

Say, any comments on my invites (professionally speaking)?

I like them - the graphic around the masthead is nifty. Pirate theme, right? Is the paper parchment? Very nice job.

As far as sharing pics -

One of the cheapy sites we use for stock art is www.dreamstime.com - you have to pay in so many credits, (I think it's like 10 bucks minimum) but they are professional, hires images and are usually $2 a pop (so $10 will get you 5 hires images), and for the usage that most of the posters here would need, they would be fantastic.

I saw those too. lol

Looks great! Can you post a pick of the little skellie as well?

Here is the skelly from the Dollar Tree. They come in clear, black, blue, red, green, orange and yellow. All are the transparent colors, so they are all see-through.



And here is the skelly in one of the coffins. I have the invite rolled up and tied, and the skelly's arms are looped around it. These are being hand-delivered, so we don't have to worry about shifting or mailing snafus.

Too cute! Thanks for posting the pics!
