A nicely drawn collection of jack-o-lanterns, skulls, and tombstones that work well individually as well as put together for spooky borders and frames.

Pros

  • Detailed characters
  • Makes nice horizontal borders or dividers

Cons

  • Upside down characters seem less useful
  • No Mac version available

Guide Review - Halloween Borders

Create borders or use some of the characters individually. A variety of Jack-o-lanterns with vines, several skulls and bones, and RIP tombstones are the main images. There is also a bat. Each image comes in an upright and upside down version, although the upside down images are probably less useful. The skeleton arms with their pointing fingers would make good Halloween-themed "arrows." See Vendor's Page for full character set, example of borders drawn with this font, and download.
