Trick Or Treat ~ DD Challenges

Happy October everyone!  Double D Challenges is starting a new challenge and the theme is "Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat".  What's more fun to eat than chocolate?
 
I decided to make up two tussy mussies using some old cardboard cones I've had sitting in my craft stash for far too long.  It was time to put them to use.
 
I covered them with design paper and added a tissue paper fringe to the top edge of each cone.  I threaded some wire through for a hanger and tied a strip of black toulle for a bow.  
 
The images were printed on my printer and fussy cut.  I then made a tissue paper medallion to attach the image to and glued the medallions to the front of each cone.  Fill them with paper shred and treats and oua-la!  A cute halloween treat!
 
I added a circle of toulle to the medallion on this one, to add a bit more texture.  I think I like the other one better.
 
Which one do you like?  The owl or the pussy cat?

 I do hope you'll pop in at DD Challenges to see more fun creations from my talented team mates
 
Here's the inspiration photo to help you get started:

Oh, goodness, what fun these are! Special and cute, but not too scary. Love how you've dressed up each one. You are so ultra-creative, Birgit!

Oh, the fun you have! Birgit, that cat screams Halloween to me - and did you know that Butterfingers are one of my faves? Hope they're still there in a few weeks!

How creative are you making these tussie mussies. A word I had not heard before I love both the owl and the cat but mostly I love that you use something from your craft room that had been there for a long time. So with this you got both the Halloween and the food in on your entry. Great job!

those are so cute, I love the vintage images you used on them and I like the use of the tulle with them too, perfect pairing. Because I have a black cat myself I have to pick the cat over the owl.

Well these just couldn't be any cuter. I love the tussy mussy, how quaint and lovely. Your images seem so retro to me, like something I used to see on Halloween cards. Great idea, someone is going to love getting these.
