Halloween lovers take note! Today, I’m sharing a fun Halloween card using a fun fold — the gate fold with a belly band. In addition, I use a fun element called a “wobble.” Be sure to watch the video below to see how this card comes together and how the wobble works.

For today’s featured card, I used just one of the designs of this pretty patterned paper.
