A castle with pointed towers, pennants snapping at the top, tiled roofs drawn shingle by shingle and an arched door at the foot of the steps. Bare trees lean in from both sides and bats cross the sky above. This is the one to hand someone who wants an evening rather than ten minutes, and the only page here that looks right framed. Something ready in minutes: the halloween cake.

A haunted halloween castle, bats over its towers.
