Another Halloween theme bento, guess I really pump up for this year’s Halloween. I really liked to do a Frankenstein bento during last year’s Halloween but I guess I didn’t have the skills to do it back then.

Still in Halloween mood, I also still using Hello Kitty for my Halloween theme kyaraben, this time as a witch with flying broomstick.
