    I am too excited to type! I love every single detail on this box and especially that it was a soap box! How awesome is that? Such a great job! Really, kudos to you!

    Absolutely BRILLIANT, Julia! I'd have never guessed that was a soap box. Looks like a wooden chunky ATC. Fabulous image and those wings on the blood vile and skull feet are genius. (May have to "borrow" this idea, with full credit, of course.) xxD

    Great use of skulls!

    Rick has such fantastic images but you put it all together in a very fanciful way.

    What a great project - the skull legs for the box and creepy Mr.Shadow are awesome. Will he be sitting on your mantel for Halloween?

    This is great and what a way to use a soap box. The cute (cute??) little goblin reminds me of Peter Lorre for some reason
