Along with a pallete of black, white and orange polka dots, we created in a haunted Halloween dining table and spooky sweets buffet that all the kids adored!Birthday Boo BashThe Table: The table was set with a white linen, a Spider Web Tablecloth Roll and an Orange Chevron and Polka Dot Table Runner. Each ghostly guests' place setting included an Orange Polka Dot Dinner Plate, Boo Dessert Plate, Molded Ghost Cup with Lid & Straw, Boo Beverage Napkin and an Orange Fork adorned with beads from the Ghost Bracelet Craft Kit.
