Trick or Treat Treasure Hunt

It is time for a...

Hello and welcome to the first ever Trick or Treat Treasure Hunt brought to you by the team of Creative Bug Digitals.

This is stop # 5. It is 2:00 pm EDT, Oct. 31st, which is actually 7:00 am Nov.1st, here on my blog, and it is time to release the fifth clue.

If you missed the first four stops, please go HERE (http://scrapbookingforbeginners-naomi.blogspot.com/2013/10/time-for-trick-or-treat-treasure-hunt.html in case the link doesn't work) and start from the beginning to ensure that you understand how to play along and get all the clues you will need to participate.

Clue #5

1. Go the Creative Bug Digitals Store at http://www.creativebugdigis.com.
2. Find the Halloween section. 
3. Click on the first image across in the fourth row down.  This will bring the image name up for you.
4. What is the eleventh letter in this image's name?  Take that letter and write it down.  This is your fifth of six letters.

__?___     __?___         __?___      __?___      __?___      _____

You now have five of your blanks filled in.  Remember you will need to unscramble the word when you have finished collecting the last remaining letter.

To help you find the correct image in the store, I have created a project to showcase it...

I have used a black card blank this time.  The background paper is from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  If you have followed the clue correctly, you will already know what the image is and that it comes from Creative Bug On the Loose!  I used a tombstone die-cut for the image and then stippled some Distress Ink around the image using Old Paper. 

I am also entering my card into the following challenges:
