The Spider's Prey!
- Contest Photo by: Stregamommamichelle

Description
My daughter loves all kinds of insects, so this is a natural choice for her! She is a green bug, complete with antennae, green turtleneck sweater and gloves and sparkling face paint. We wrapped her in spider webbing and completed the look with a huge, wire-legged spider positioned as if it's taking a bite!
She raised $50 for Unicef during trick or treat 2008!

Tips for Taking a Great Photo:
- Avoid clutter. Keep the background simple -- your costume is the star!
- Daytime, natural light is best. If your area is bright enough, try taking the photo without the flash.
- Upload a horizontal photo. If you crop the image on your computer, make sure you keep a landscape 4:3 aspect ratio.
- For best results, make your image 1200x900 (or "save for web").
- With a digital camera, you can take as many photos as possible and choose the best one. Have fun!
