Trick or Treat

Day 22 of the 30-in-30 challenge.

There is something very eerie about things or people that come in look-alike twos.

I find this especially true for this particular cat with those creepy balloons. It's a template for a "delightful" applique to go on a child's apron, according to an 70s crafts and sewing book. The smaller version was printed a few pages further in a recap chapter.

I cut out the mouse a few years ago. Now I finally know what has been frightening this little fellow.
