I've built a little random fading eye system based on a Picaxe chip. Works well. It has 5 outputs which I can double up to get 10 pairs of eyes.
Does anyone know where I can get some Halloween Silhouette shapes that I can print out, cut out of MDF and embed the eyes in?
I need Owls, Cats, Demon faces etc. I've been googling for a while but not had much luck. Most of the stuff I find is too detailed and I just need outline or solid stuff.
Thanks
Mike

Check JoAnn's Fabrics. There's nothing online about Halloween silhouettes, but I saw cats, JOLs and witch silhouettes in the store a couple days ago.
Try the Winfield Collection - http://www.thewinfieldcollection.com/
They may have something of interest.

I don't know about cats or dogs. But I copied this image of a couple of zombies. I am going to project them with one of those kids projectors and cut them out. They will be life size. Go down the link till you see to black zombies.

Every place on the Target website, the word "mask" is replaced with "mascara". DUH. LOL.

There are some silhouettes as part of the Martha Stewart Halloween collection. I spotted 'em today at Michael's. They would seem to me, from what you describe, pretty close to perfect to what you want.

I also recommend the MarthaStewart.com website. I used the bats, witch and cats templates. They're easy to use and came out great. Just look under "Halloween" "Decorating and Craft Templates" then scroll thru to choose templates of choice. Good luck.

Thanks for the links but none of these quite hit the spot. The Martha Stewart site only seems to have 3 or 4 silhouettes and only a couple are 'face on'
The best site I can find is here but even on this one, not too many suitable as silhouettes.
