Now it's time to display your finished Spooky Flower Pots! I love how they look paired with this tombstone pedestal with rose. The tombstone is battery-operated and actually flashes a light to look like lightning and gives your decor a spooky look. These flower pots coordinate perfectly with my DIY Midnight Fairy Signs and DIY Pixy Dust Fairy Wands; all fun projects from the Midnight Fairy Halloween Party!
