A Lovely Award and Creepy Kids

Here is my finished piece. Clyde, Izzie and Cecil for ADO Quarterly Challenge Halloween:)
They don't live in the best part of town.......

Clyde and Izzie
Went out to trick or treat,
Clyde dressed like a duck
Cause he was born with web feet.

Izzie a bunny
Her Mom stitched her lips tight,
So she can't eat poison candy
While out Halloween night.

Cecil her spider
Who is like a watch dog,
Is there to protect them
From what lurks in the fog
These little creepy cuties are available in my Etsy store http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31667011
