Halloween is such an awesome time. I absolutely LOVE it. Everyone gets some sweet treats for free. Both grown ups and kids have loads of fun. And we all get to be someone we’re not for one night.

The holiday inspires me. Especially with creating. Just take a look at that cute little shiny pumpkin over there. I made that, and 13 more super cute graphics. Of course I’m still learning to sharpen my drawing skills, but I think these turned out really really good.

You be the judge and take a quick look at what I made this year:

The above weren’t terribly difficult to create, just took a little time and tweaking, but I had fun doing them. And isn’t that what designing is all about? Having fun? I think it is.

I even decided to sell the above package to my subscribers with Private Label Rights for a super scary low price. I mean, it is only about a week until the big “haunt”. Plus I threw in a couple of extra graphics sets too. If you are interested in this package, and I have any left ( I set a limit of 50 total packs to be sold with PLR ), then shoot me a message and I’ll let you know how much my subscribers paid and if you can pick one up.

Worst case scenario these can be used for next Halloween ;-)

I can’t wait for the next installment of graphics. They’re going to be geared towards Christmas. My other favorite holiday. And they’re going to be even better!

Because, the more we practice, the more we improve our skills.

And, depending on how well the Christmas collection goes over, I may just do even more for other holidays like Easter, Thanksgiving, St. Patrick’s Day, Valentines Day, and a couple others. We shall see. At least I’ll have fun creating!

Share with me what you’ve been up to or creating. I’d love to see and hear from you.

Best Free Handwriting Fonts

I have seen anywhere I found quite by accident doing a search through Google.

See, what happened was….

I discovered this cool new online handwritten font tool at vLetter and planned on using that for making some handwritten signatures and headlines for some upcoming web pages, but found that vLetter converted the written text over to images on a flat white background.

And that just wouldn’t do for me.

I needed something better.

Something I could edit out the rear without having to remove the backgrounds.

So, I went on the hunt for some good, free handwriting fonts.

And I hit the jackpot with FontGarden.com

While the fonts are free to use for any personal pages, you can simply “donate whatever you think commercial use is worth to you”, and then you can also use these beautiful handwritten fonts commercially.

( I’m not sure if you have to donate for every single font you want to use commercially or not, but it would be nice to throw the author a few bucks for each one. Plus, you can always contact the owner and find out. )

Pretty cool, right?

I was amazed at the quality and variety of handwritten fonts. Frankly, I hadn’t seen anything like these anywhere else on the web. To boot, they were all free, right there for the taking, and installing!

Of course, when I found FontGarden.com’s selection, I just had to hop right on here and share it with everyone.

So, if you’ve been looking for some beautiful handwritten fonts, then I highly recommend you visit FontGarden.com and see what’s there.

It’s one resource you will want to bookmark and go back to again and again.
