A Friendly Ghost Frame

        A graphic frame is designed to contain text; it surrounds text and most usually gives a clue to the reader as to what the text is about before they read it. The sample Halloween ghost frame below was used to advertise an old-fashioned ice cream social within the context of a Halloween event. It was used by a Congregational church over 70 years ago.

Left, original church event. Right, printed on orange paper.

       Next to the original ad is an example of what the frame would look like if printed on orange paper. This is an economical way to get color into your printing without spending much money for expensive color inks. Your congregation is free to use the friendly little ghost frame below to advertise their own "trick or trunk", Halloween party or costume contest. Just pull the ghost into Photo Shop or some other similar software program and type in your own text.

This friendly ghost frame comes in greyscale only.
