The spooky collection of freebies does not include the owl on the branch by itself, only as part of another design. Is there another place where the owl is located?

[Janet Carr]

I found a quicker way to make the orange show through the outline of the font. (1) Create your text with the outline font. (2) Copy and paste your text box so that you have a duplicate. (3) Then change your font to the regular charming font. (4) Change the color of the letters that you want to be orange. (5) Arrange the text boxes so that the one with the outline is on top on the elements bar. (6) Center them together and then group. Much, much quicker than outlining around the outline font.

Looks like the Trick or Treat PP addition is not available anymore, or am I missing something?
