So, this weekend, we are taking a look back to a favorite Halloween/fall themed paper suite called Moonlight. I loved the softer, more muted colors in this pack. So much, that I kept a stocked piled inventory for a special occasion, and Croptopia's Fall getaway was just that occasion! For this crop, I created two layouts that the scrappers got to choose from for their Create and Takes. For those at the crop, you are welcome to take these instructions and create your own layouts.
