Fireside Trimmings Bundle Halloween Card

I finally pulled out the Fireside Trimmings Bundle (Fireside Trimmings stamp set and Fireside Dies) thinking I would make a Christmas card, but when I saw the pumpkins and the bat banner, I knew I had to go all Halloween with it. Except for a couple of touches of Cherry Cobbler (blood color?) the entire card is in black and grays.
