Halloween is almost here! That means Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Then the winter holidays, like Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. Advertising designers are in full swing right now. Budgets are tight, so I’m going to give you an early holiday gift! You’ll have to read down to get it though – so first, a look at my recent additions to my online stock image portfolio for the holidays.
