Inspired By.... Boo

This week’s Inspired By Challenge puts a playful twist on Halloween! 🎃💗 From pastel pumpkins to polka dots and a soft “boo,” this inspiration is all about sweet, stylish spookiness.

Don’t forget to tag us when you share your not-so-scary creation—we can’t wait to be boo-tifully inspired by you!

Also, if you post on social media, please tag @inspired_by_challenge Just a reminder, an inspiration photo is exactly that- a starting point for inspiration.
