Thanks JeanieG and dublb - I chose the block carefully and I'm very happy with how it turned out.
Thanks janRN - currently, there are enough of the "simpler" blocks so that I can avoid the uglies for a bit yet. I dislike spiders, too. So, no spider-themed fabric where the spiders look realistic and no Halloween decorations with realistic spiders. Well, one, but he has purple lights all over him so doesn't creep me out.
