Trick or Treat

 I wanted to use a solid color twine, but the floss that I had was too thin and the color was too bright.  So I colored a strand of  8-ply  twine, purchased at Big Lots.  I used a fine point orange Sharpie, you can also use a stamp pad to change up the color of twine or ribbon. :)
Sorry for the poor pic.

I colored these with highlighters; works best if you use a wide chisel marker.
...and here's my card using the orange twine! :) 

Paper and pumpkin brad is by Imaginisce Spooky Town collection.  The stamp is by Inkadinkadoo Creepy Crawly stamp set.

GREAT idea on the coloring of twine and much less expensive than the Baker's twine. Thanks for this hint!
