Arabella’s Web
by
Charlotte Dixon
Halloween morning and Arabella, the house spider, skittered up the living room curtain.
In the corner of a window, she wove a silky web as fine as Venetian lace. 
Her eyes sparkled as she scurried to gather...
orange sequins...
glossy yellow buttons...
and twinkling lights.
She twisted, curled, and twined her treasures into a creation with...
an orange sequined body...
glistening yellow eyes, nose, and mouth...
and lights shimmering like stars in the sky.
As darkness folded over the old haunted house...
costumed children giggled...
happy eyes danced...
tiny fingers pointed...
to Arabella’s pumpkin web.

Cute :) The link on Susanna's blog took me to your home page instead of to your blog with your entry. Thought you might want to fix it to lead directly to your story. Good luck to you!

Lovely story, Charlotte. I so enjoyed how Annabelle celebrates Halloween by using her talents to create a jack-o-lantern.
