Haha, thanks Fess!
Agreed, skulls are pretty cool, but used quite often in playing cards overall, not just Halloween ones. We wanted something a little more fun and lively.
The back design was intentionally not over-the-top, since the focus of the customization is more about the faces. With the back, we really just wanted to capture the essence of the overall autumn season.
And even more agreed on candy corn - great to use as a design element, but I sure don't want to eat it. I need to dig up the clip of Louis Black discussing candy corn in his stand-up act...
