Chibi Ghosts

It’s time for fall! When it comes to this season, people get excited about soo many different aspects about it – some enjoy the comfort of the chilling air, the holidays, and the the falling leaves. However, this is also the time that peoples ghoulish side comes out! The spooky season (some call it “spoopy”) is just about here and it’s so fun to relish in the horror themes! So that is where the inspiration for the cute and easy little chibi ghosts came from. I’m not one for completely scary artwork, so I’m throwing cute into these little ghosts. 

Down below, you can find two sizes for these chibi ghosts – and two different faces! I wanted to show you that they can be diverse depending on what you want to go for with them. These are easy to make and work up pretty quickly and two sizes are available – I hope you enjoy it!
