Download the haunted house template (link is in the blog post). Print onto white paper.

Cut the pieces and use them to trace around the following construction paper colors: Black - tree, cat, bats, haunted house, spider, pumpkin features; Purple - windows; Orange - pumpkins; White - spider web, ghost; Yellow - cat's eyes.

Use the grass template to trace enough grass for the length of your background. Measure the length of the background card first, then cut two equal-length strips of paper - one in black and one in gray. Make the black one wider than the gray - you'll notice in the template that one set of grass is higher than the other.

Apply glue along the straight bottom, and side edges of the taller grass and stick it to the bottom edge of your cardstock background. Repeat with the other piece of grass, placing it on top. Leaving the 'blades of grass' free lets you place the pieces of the scene behind and between the grass sections.

Prepare all the other pieces: Add the features and stems to the pumpkins; draw features with a marker onto the ghost; draw pupils on the yellow cats' eyes and stick to the cat's face; stick the windows to the haunted house; attach googly eyes to the spider.

With all the pieces now ready, assemble your scene. Place them behind or between the grass layers, using the photo below as a guide. You can add a 3-D element by not sticking everything down flat. For example, just sticking down the bat's body and gently folding up the wings.
