To risk speaking out of turn - all it is really, is that it was thought it might be nice to take advantage of the 'Trick or Treat' aspect of Halloween and see if some more of this element could be built into the Theme.
Harley put his thinking cap on and created a way in which aspects of the blind could form part of a simple puzzle in which elements could be hunted for and presented in such a way as to complete a simple puzzle. It really is just an added dimension for those that want to join in themselves or for that matter with the younger members of the family.
Just for a little added extra value, we've thrown in a small prize element, which while not equal to the effort of those that have provided the artwork, just adds a little something tangible to the 'Trick or Treating'.
So just a bit of fun that offers a chance of a freebie at the end.

Well, I for one think it's a great idea and you just might hae added a whole new aspect for putting together a WB with elements added that could bring some fun into desktop customizing. 
I think I have an idea of what you are talking about with this puzzle, but I'm keeping it a secrect because,...........................I'm probably wrong!
