Halloween Treat Boxes

Hi readers! Do we have a TREAT for you today! (Pun intended.) So happy to be back with Richele Christensen as a guest designer on our blog with some fabulous Tim Holtz inspired treat boxes that are just perfect for this time of year!

I’m personally loving the touches of glitter she added to them.  What’s your favorite thing about them?

Enjoy!
