Dia de los Muertos - Blank Page Muse Blog Hop

In brief Día de los Muertos or comonly known at The Day of the Dead, is a Mexican holiday where the souls of deceased relatives of family and friends are welcomed home for a brief time that includes food, drink and celebration, even parades. The celebration traditionally occurs November 1-2 but can be longer.  

For the blog hop today I am sharing several cards made with stamps from both Blank Page Muse and I Brake for Stamps.
