The cover is actually very simple to construct. It's basically an 8 1/4" strip of cardstock, scored every 2 inches (with 1/4" left over for a tab for adhesive). An opening is cut from each 2" wide section using a rectangle Nestabilities die. I used a spider web border punch along the top of the strip, all the way across, for an additional spooky touch.
I stamped the tree image from the Multi Step Owl & Autumn Moon set and a moon made from a circle found in the Pretty Petals stamp set on 4 vellum panels. One stamped vellum panel is secured behind each opening in the black cardstock. I folded the black strip on the score lines and secured it with some ScorTape. A lit tealight is set inside the cover for the photo to get a spooky moonlit glow.
