Free Halloween printables for cards, decorations, pumpkin carving

Invite friends and neighbors to your pumpkin patch with cards and invitations featuring a a scary or fun pumpkin face, ghosts, goblins, or ghouls. Print your own Halloween party decorations, get templates to carve a pumpkin. Download free templates for spooky t-shirt transfers, trick or treat bags, costumes and other Halloween craft projects.
Design Tip: Don't clutter your cards with too many cute graphics. Repeat one good image several times to add impact rather than throwing in every witch, pumpkin, bat, or ghost that you find. When using different images, keep the style similar — woodcut, modern, sketched, etc.

Invitation/Card Idea: Turn a map of your neighborhood into a Halloween maze — where the only correct solution leads right to your haunted house.

Invitation/Card Idea: Don't fret over finding the right clip art. Use pre-designed holiday papers. Want to make your party a bit more dignified than the usual Halloween bash? Use color paper in warm fall colors and pick a not too outrageous typeface. Put your time and effort into writing a nice invite and having a fun party. Or, try this Fall Harvest Stationary template from HP.

Design Tip: Many of the Halloween fonts that are so fun to use are also difficult to read. Choose and use these decorative fonts carefully. Use them at large sizes for short headlines and easy to recognize words (Boo! Happy Halloween). Choose a nice, easy to read serif or sans serif font for body copy — and especially for important information like dates, times, and locations for your Halloween festivities.
