Many thanks for all the compliments, everybody!! I spent WAY too much time setting all of that up, but it was fun.
Maybe I can use it as my 2009 Christmas card picture!

Oh yeah, you must use that as your Christmas card! It would be great and I'm sure your family would have a understanding chuckle (mine would if I did that).

Way cute . Great set up and wreath build.
But I especially like the colorful blucky family. and I am curious if you painted them for your scene or if you have them painted for your usual display...are they blacklightable?
Actually I liked how your outlining highlights on them.
Those eyeballs are just too much., I need to get some for my bluckys.

Dad looks like he needs the " wii fit you back together"
edition. !
Good Luck on the entry !

Thanks again for all the kind compliments.
"Wii fit you back together" LOL- That's pretty good, frogqueen!!
The blucky family are props I had made in the past. The Dad and the girl skellys are my Skeleton Trick-or-Treaters:

The Mom skelly is the Bride that goes with my bride and groom:

The little brother in the back is this guy:

And no, they aren't black light reactive. I just thought I'd add some color to my yard display.
The outlining of the bluckies I learned a while back. A forum member named Ray A. Rottin had a website where he showed how to paint and highlight the blucky to make it look a lot better. Can't find his site right now, but I'll keep looking.

Thanks again!!
