I love, love, love Halloween. And I love decorating for the holiday. But I’ll be honest, I don’t want orange all over my house. There are more subtle ways to decorate for Halloween, like cobwebs and white pumpkins. I also try not to get too serious, however. I have a black and white portrait that I
