LLWWC6 - Paper Pieced "Trick or Treat" Lala

It's time again for another La-La's Weekly Wednesday Challenge!

Before I go on to this week's challenge, I just wanted to thank everyone who participated in last week's challenge. Congratulations to our four winners (second was a tie!) - Victoria of Blue Jelly Too, Carolyn of Handmade Treasures by Creative Card Corner, Alexandra of Scrapbookende Zwergnase, and April Rose of April's Roses! It seems to be getting harder every week to decide on the Top 3! Such awesome talent out there! I can not wait to see what this week's challenge brings on!

Sheila is our host this week and she has chosen paper piecing as the challenge!

She says:
