Vintage Halloween/Halloween Classic/Georgie! /What Wood You Make?

My favorite childhood classic book, Georgie's Halloween takes center stage! I couldn't think of a more fun way to incorporate sweet wee Georgie the Ghost into my Halloween decor than making this quick, easy, inexpensive diorama / assemblage / shadow box. Not really sure what to call it, but I love it! Hope you like it, too!
