Spooky scary skeletons are in the shop with the latest from for . Dem Bones stirs up an eerie whimsy that’s both playful and macabre. Dancing skeletons, ornate skulls and shadowy motifs weave through intricate patterns in a palette that hints at Halloween. We paired it with some Gothic Whimsy and The Little Ghost who was a Quilt for a fully spooktacular display!
