Hand-carved driftwood halloween sign

A hand-held scale driftwood plank is mounted horizontally between two upright birch posts, carved and sanded to show grain and held in a quiet woodland clearing with a calm, low-contrast grade mood. Polished bone and antler strips form serif letters that read "HAPPY HALLOWEEN" set flush into the wood, with a natural moss fringe and tiny bracket fungi hugging the grain for organic texture. Surfaces show worn wood, smooth bone, and papery birch bark as dominant materials; a small unlettered slate tile sits beneath the plank reserved for future copy. Illumination reads as warm amber lantern glow and a faint teal foxfire shimmer in the underbrush, producing gentle separation and soft outline glow against cool shadow areas; the grade leans warm overall with subtle contrast to the moss green and slate charcoal tones. A thread of low ground fog drifts along the leaf-littered path and around the posts, while two lantern halos and scattered fungi punctuate the atmosphere. Frame tight in a 3:2 crop at eye level, leaving clean negative space below the slate tile for typography or logo placement for poster or banner use.
