About this pattern

A tall, narrow Halloween bookmark: a black bat at the top, a small white ghost with pink cheeks below it, and a tower of three orange jack-o-lanterns with a green stalk on the top one. The top pumpkin grins, the middle one has a round open mouth and the bottom one frowns. It uses seven thread colors.

23 stitches wide by 86 high: 1,366 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Dark Autumn Gold 3853, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 4 more).
