New again

I am trying so hard to get organized and on top of things, and am failing sadly.
Whilst I was looking for a design to show the girls in class I came across a selection of unfinished pages and the inspiration just followed I think that's what they where waiting for so now they have become new again.
there are altogether four pages but with six layouts, the two middle pages are a 12 x 12 Acetate page which I love doing this because of the challenge it provides and the dimensions you can achieve.
so here comes lots of photos

So this is my style flat demonsion

Just had to share some "googling" I did
Halloween is a holiday celebrated mainly in the regions of the Western world, on October 31. About 1846 Irish immigrants introduced the festival to the United States hence its popularization
Halloween’s origins are from the ancient Gaelic festival known as Samhain (pronounced sow-in or sau-an), which is derived from Old Irish and means roughly “summer’s end”. A similar festival was held by the ancient Britons and is known as Calan Gaeaf (pronounced kalan-geyf). The festival of Samhain celebrates the end of the “lighter half” of the year and beginning of the “darker half”, and is sometimes regarded as the “Celtic New Year”.
It could be seen as a festival of the dead. The ancient Gaels believed that the border between this world and the other world became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits (both harmless and harmful) to pass through. The family’s ancestors were honoured and invited home whilst harmful spirits were warded off. It is believed that the need to ward off harmful spirits led to the wearing of costumes and masks. Their purpose was to disguise oneself as a harmful spirit and thus avoid harm.
Samhain was also a time to take stock of food supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. Bonfires played a large part in the festivities. All other fires were doused and each home lit their hearth from the bonfire. The bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into its flames. Sometimes two bonfires would be built side-by-side, and people and their livestock would walk between them as a cleansing ritual.
