I love these pretty vintage Halloween postcards -- they are over a century old, but still quite lovely! I found a few of these lovely, almost pinup style Halloween postcards in my ever growing pile of "interesting paper'. I wanted to share them with you today, they are too lovely to keep to myself! Each of these vintage Halloween postcards is from the very early 1900s, and each has a different look, they work well together or along.

How to use these Free Vintage Halloween Postcards
Print the postcards onto heavy card stock, the one I use is shown below. It is 110 lb and prints beautifully. Keep an eye on the price, I only buy when it is around $10, it seems to fluctuate quite a bit.
Print on one side only, using your printer’s “best” settings.
