Weekly Challenge from DBuzz
_{🕶 Round 170 🕶}

Happy Monday, buzzketeers!

We're back with a new weekly challenge, and it's the perfect time because October has arrived, bringing with it Halloween excitement! 🎃

This is one of our favorite months for the costumes, pumpkin flavors, and spooky creativity. To celebrate, our mission is costume brainstorming!

Here's your task: create a buzz sharing your Halloween costume inspiration and reference pics. Are you dreaming up a giant ostrich? A lumberjack? A zombie? Post your early plans and source material to get our creative juices flowing. You have until next Sunday to participate.

One talented costume conceptualizer who wins will be added as a 50% beneficiary on next week's challenge post. So get your ghost and ghoul ideas out there!

But where to find inspiration?

When dreaming up Halloween costume ideas, inspiration can come from anywhere if you keep an open and creative mindset. Look at your favorite TV shows, books, historical eras, animals, foods, jobs, celebrities, inside jokes – anything that sparks your imagination.

Flip through old magazines, browse costume shops online, or watch people in fun neighborhoods. Sometimes, a random object in your home can turn into genius with the right vision (#blender?). Look for patterns, textures, or colors you can incorporate.

Don't limit yourself to just buying a ready-made costume. The most original and memorable ones come from boldly going down a DIY path. Raid closets for pieces to repurpose, hit up local thrift stores for whacky finds, or dig through the craft cabinet for supplies.

The key is letting those creative juices flow freely without overthinking it. Embrace whatever fun, silly, spooky idea pops into your mind first. If it makes you smile, it will be a hit! What unique spin can you put on it? Your inner innovator holds the key for next-level costumes.

Also, shout out to @joseal2020 for winning last week's cloud photo challenge! We loved your stunning cloud capture. Thank you for frequently engaging! Your passion makes DBuzz so special. View their winning post HERE.

And thank YOU, amazing DBuzz community, for your inspirational spirit. October is more fun with all of us buzzing together. We can't wait to see the costumes forming in your minds. Share your vision on the hive!

Let the spooky creativity commence. Happy Halloween countdown! Don't get too scared out there. 👻

Hmmm… Perhaps dress as a talking plant?
