White for Halloween?

Hey everyone! I hope you are getting into fall and the fun side of Halloween!
After Christmas last year I picked up a cheap white 3 foot Christmas tree at Rite Aid, about $2. It had those flimsy branches that you really can't hang anything on, but the white color caught my eye. So I brought it home and started twisting the branches together, 3 or 4 at a time.
I ended up with something similar to a feather tree, but I could add lights and ornaments.
Years ago Target had a set of glass Trick or Treater ornaments,
I was thrilled to be able to start collecting ornaments for another holiday:@)
I've always used my 28" hand crafted feather tree, but this year I thought I'd do something different.
The photos aren't great-have to use the flash, but do get clearer if you click on them.
  

I made this cute tree skirt for my feather tree.
I love the word embellishment and beading! The letter beads spell out: Happy Halloween, the witch is in, trick or treat, fun, spooky, cider, candy and gobblin. This pic was on my work table in the studio.
I set my little feather tree up for all of the holidays except Christmas, and really enjoy it!
I'm joining the following parties:
Tabletop Tuesday
Spooky Monday
Three or More Tuesday
Toot Your Horn Tuesday
