Halloween Scrapbook Collage Serving Tray

I have been holding on a to a booklet gifted to me by a friend of amazing art work by Austin Pardun. This printed booklet had their most popular work from 2017-2018 and I have always enjoyed their work and that vintage Halloween feeling that is prominently captured in their designs. I always wanted to find the best way to display these works, and I ultimately settled on incorporating them into a scrapbook-style collage onto a serving tray.

At one point, I did have lots of pumpkin head pails because I always pot mums in them and set them around the front porch this time of year, however I am a lazy gardener and housekeeper and they got busted and faded by the elements just chilling out in my backyard. I’ve learned my lesson from that – respect your pumpkin pails, and in return they’ll respect you and your creativity.
