Awesome wall hanging. So very unique in color and elemental design. I also like the spiderweb pattern done in perhaps a silver metallic (do they make glow in the dark thread?)..please leave the metallic that is lighting up the bats!

GLOW IN THE DARK THREAD! and I have some. Just may think about bats in background and just thought about jack o lantern faces without the outline of the pumpkin! Spider webs here and there too. Thanks guys. Appreciate all the suggestions....and you future readers...keep the ideas coming. Everyone is so helpful.

I love what you've done with that pattern. I like the metallic thread too. Remember it doesn't have to have too much quilting, but the spider webs sound like a cool idea.
