One of my favorite and most versatile Halloween decorations is my black feather wreath. I bought it several years ago on post-Halloween clearance at Target after wanting one for several years but being too cheap to pay full price. You can make your own feather wreath a la Eddie Ross--but mine was cheaper and I didn't have to clean up feathers afterward! 
This year I hung it on the back of my door and to dress it up I used tiny orange clothespins to attach some appropriately spooky flash cards that I found in a huge box at the thrift store a while ago.
The cards I used are apparition, ominous, ghoul, cadaverous, grotesque and macabre. It was an easy project--took all of about 2 minutes, including rummaging in my craft room for the clothespins, and neither wreath nor cards are permanently altered so I can use them in a different way next year. I think it's an especially appropriate decoration for my Haunted Library-themed Halloween party this year!
Loving the haunted library idea. So many cool decorations you have created. Glad you are able to craft and decorate here and there. Looking forward to two cuties in costume.
