Halloween Votive Holders for Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Fright Night

This week's challenge at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog is "Fright Night" and we hope you can play along with us here.  Our randomly selected prize winner will receive a $15 Gift Certificate to the SVG Attic.

Halloween is quickly approaching and I wanted to use Design Space to create some home decor items.  Once I figured out that I could use a basic box shape from the CTMH Artiste cartridge and weld some Halloween images from the CTMH Artbooking cartridge I couldn't stop creating these cute votive holders!  The first picture was taken with the flickering battery operated votive candles in the dark.

Here is what they look like in daylight:
