This Skeleton Was Made to BOO-gie | Interactive Halloween Card

I adore this skeleton. As soon as I saw Sir Skeleton by Spellbinders, I knew he had to BOO-gie. 😂 He already had the hat and bow tie, so I could totally picture him dancing down the street. A little spinner was all I needed to make that happen, and I love that it lets him swing side to side instead of spinning all the way around.

Making This Skeleton Dance

I went with bright Halloween colors for this one, and the purple and teal almost remind me of Mardi Gras. Somehow that just feels right for him. I can imagine Sir Skeleton from New Orleans for some reason. I used the Color Block Accent Rectangles to frame him and kept the rest of the layers simple.

I kept his head and body separate so only the lower half moves. His head is popped up with foam tape, which leaves enough room underneath for his body to swing. The small spinner fits perfectly at the top of the body, and that little side-to-side movement is exactly what I wanted.

I also needed the sentiment to be much smaller for this layout, so I partially die cut the “BOO” from the sentiment die. Then I used the smallest tab die from the Color Block Accent Rectangles set to cut it into a tiny rectangle. This is a great way to stretch your sentiment dies when they are too long to fit your space.

This little guy makes me laugh every time I see him move. The spinner gave me exactly the little side-to-side BOO-gie I pictured when I first saw him, and those bright purple and teal layers just fit him. Honestly, I think he turned out even more fun than I imagined.
