I like it! I think if you move the words, Gimp and Chat more toward the center, the letters would stand out better from a plain black bg. Maybe make them glow like Happy Halloween.

Very nice and professional as always Wallace. I don't think I will be doing one, I don't like Halloween. :teeth

Thanks you guys.
I'm not a big fan of Halloween either, but it gave me something to do.

Thanks for the cool banner, Wallace. It will be a great addition to the Halloween collection.

I'm a fan of "All Hallow's Eve", which is the evening before All Saint's Day. The jack 'o lanterns and other macabre imagery are meant to keep away evil spirits. :cool

Come to keep vigil on All Hallows' Even,
With Monica, Jamie, Peter and Stephen,
With John, Philip, Christopher, dressed up like souls;
Bring berries of red to help warn off the ghouls.
Come knock at the door and beg for soul cakes,
Pray hard for the souls, for the prayers that it takes
To speed them to Heav'n go too often unsaid,
Band who prays for poor souls will ne'er want for bread.

Soul, soul, an apple or two,
If you haven't an apple, a pear will do,
One for Peter, two for Paul,
Three for the Man Who made us all.

I just finished this and thought it looked scarey enough I need a coffee now :hehe

This was the earlier version -

This is the stock image I began with to make the above in case anyone wants to make different versions. I used GMIC foreground/background plugin to cut out buddha, and turned the internal panels and outline white, I saved this for a future first desktop wallpaper project.
