At Halloween-time, people not only turn their attention to all things scary and weird, but many also like to decorate everything that doesn't move. For some, that means smoke machines, life-sized headstones, piped-in scary music and mechanical figures that jump out when you walk by. For people like me who live much of their lives online, though, decorations for Halloween take other forms entirely. We decorate our online worlds using digital art, such as Halloween cards. This electronic art lets us embellish word processing documents, Web sites, blogs, PowerPoint presentations and much more, which makes our time online that much more entertaining.

For scrapbookers, there are even more fun uses for images that can be found on the Web. There are some terrific collections of free Halloween paper and Halloween masks that can be so useful when telling stories through scrapbooks. These free images help people be creative without spending a fortune on images. That's actually good for all of us, because the more beauty and creativity there is in the world, the more we all benefit.

It's pretty amazing to see the other types of projects people make with the free Halloween art they find online too. I recently ran across some great altered art projects. These projects were built out of vintage books about Halloween for children that were deconstructed and reconstructed, adding blank pages, embellishments, such as rhinestones and beads, and new images that turned them into journals. I have also seen Halloween jewelry that has clip art encased or shellacked within it. That's such a creative use of free resources! Getting those images free really helps jewelry designers who work from home, because they usually don't charge enough to make a decent profit. Getting as many components free as possible is obviously a real bonus.

If you search online for handmade Halloween crafts, you're bound to see many more examples than these. I imagine they're too numerous to count!
