Red and Black and Scary

The current color challenge at Gingersnap Creations is red and black.  This color combination suggested vintage to me, so I pulled out my newest Tim Holtz stamp set and used the blended batik technique (in red and black) to make a vintage circus tag. I added a variety of papers and ephemera to finish the card.  I love these images (and the clock) from the stamp set, but the fifth image, not so much:

Clowns . . . uhhhhhggg.  Creepy clowns.  These ones kindof freak me out.  Not sure I'll ever use them.  What about you?  How do you feel about clowns?  Are there other things that freak you out?
