Halloween is coming around again! Some people say it's their favorite holiday. That's probably because they can forget who they are for a day and have full license to be someone else. Some people reject the concept of Halloween altogether, saying it's a trip to the dark side they don't want to take. But vintage Halloween art, such as you'll see below, doesn't take a stand; there's plenty of every kind of image. My personal collection runs the gamut from scary to incredibly cute.

For this page, I've focused on some cute kids and animals celebrating the holiday in a joyful way. These images show the lighter side of Halloween, so they're perfect for party invitations, scrapbooking or kids Halloween cards. I hope you find them useful!
