A haunted castle in silhouette under a golden moon, with twisted trees, jack-o'-lanterns and a reflection in the water below. The strong contrast between the black shapes and the warm yellow glow makes it a striking Halloween piece. Most of the design is built from a handful of dark and bright colors, so it moves along quickly once you know your symbols. Stitch the bright sky first, then the dark castle and trees on top of it. It makes a great seasonal sampler for a hallway or entrance. The finished piece is about 6.4 × 8.6 in (16 × 22 cm) on 14 count Aida. Silhouettes like this are a good introduction to full-coverage designs, because the shapes are bold and easy to recognize on the chart. Frame it in black for a striking October display.
