Pink Light Up Skull

It's been difficult to find pink Halloween items-so I'm continuing to come up with some of my own. Bought this white(last photo) light up skull at a garage sale a couple of weeks ago for only $.25. I had intended to just replace the light bulb to a pink one, but when I opened it up it was those itty bitty bulbs(I don't think they're made in pink). So I just got my spray paint out and pink it is. Lite up
Just pink

It still had the tags on it, but missing one eye.
I'm joining up with

    I was so happy to get a visit from you. You have such a lovely blog, and I hadn't been here before.
    Your Wizard of Oz in pink was a delight.

    Hey Rebecca, thanks for stopping by my blog! I love the skull idea. I might pick a couple up, they have the tiny light bulbs here (or you can use one from an Auto store). Get Red for my BF, and paint the other pink for me, Lol!

    You mentioned something about the ring I had up, and I didn't know how to message you, so here goes:

    This ring is actually made of inexpensive silverplate from about the 70's, and I plan on listing it for sale tonight on Etsy. You can get a really affordable one at most Halloween stores or online. But, if you'd like check out my Etsy store, and I'll have it up by tomorrow morning!

    Very cool. He looked pretty darn freaky in white with an eye missing.
