Halloween garage door silhouette pattern

I love Halloween, and I've been looking for an excuse to try out the Dremel tool my husband gave me. I thought an eerie Halloween scene covering my garage door would have a lot of impact.

Halloween Garage Door Silhouette by mcorbin. So my thought was, instead of using my garage door as a backdrop, I'd build a shadow box. My garage door has those little fancy windows. In a photo editing program, I combined all of the pictures that I liked that would fill the space in an interesting way. I got a copy of corel trace with my laser engraver. That allowed me to export the picture to a CAD format. In a CAD program, I scaled the size to match my shadow box dimensions. Then I sliced up the larger vector image into smaller panels that would fit nicely onto 4x8 sheets of plywood. Using the old shelving, I built a Shadowbox to fit the opening of my garage door. I had to give the white panels a couple of coats to thoroughly cover the wood grain pattern from bleeding through. NOTE: The cutouts are jagged. This was an unintentional by-product of vectorizing an image the size of my computer screen and scaling it to the size of my garage door. At that size, the pixelation becomes apparent.

For a little added flare, I bought a "Moon in my Room" night light and hung it on the backdrop of the scene. Attach with floor cleats or make a wooden stand on the back side.
