Cutting the Shapes:

Take the adhesive-backed golden rod 17" x WOF piece and lay the black 17" x WOF piece on top, wrong sides together and heat fuse with an iron. Set aside.
Choose a triangle from the eCAL2 Library and size to fit just within the 12" x 12" eclips cutting area, 11.526" x 11.624". Firmly press the cardstock onto the Cutting Mat and cut.
Use the cardstock triangle as a template to cut out five triangles from the golden rod and black fabric.
In eCAL2, go to the eshape store, and search for the Witch Hat w/Optional Band, Cauldron, and Boo! Purchase this shape or a similar shape.
Size the Witch Hat with the band to 5.206" x 4.618". Once sized "Break Apart" the images and separate the details.
Size the Cauldron to 3.271" x 4.696". Once sized "Break Apart" the images and separate the details.
Choose two circles from the eCAL2 Library and size them to 0.500" and 0.400" for the bubbles.
Size the "BOO!" to 8.792" x 7.656". Once sized "Break Apart" the images and separate the exclamation point. Then "Group" the letters back together.
Gather shapes together that will be cut using the same fabric colors.
Turn the "Layer" off the shapes you will not be cutting. Use "Preview" to ensure what will be cut.
Place the black fabric right side down onto the Fabric Cutting Mat. Press firmly.
Load the Fabric Cutting Mat, and cut when ready. If using scrap pieces, make sure to use "Laser Cut Preview" to ensure you will cut the shape correctly.
Cut. Pull shapes and leftover fabric off the Fabric Cutting Mat.
Repeat for the purple and green shapes within the pennant design. When cutting the purple letters, make sure to cut them in "Mirror Image."

Assembling the Banner:

Assemble the cut pieces onto the pennant shapes.
Heat fuse the shapes in place with an iron.
Stitch around each individual piece with the coordinating colored thread if desired. Add embellishments of bubbles and spider webs as desired.
Pin the extra wide double-fold bias tape onto the edges of the pennants with the edge pieces just 1/4" apart. Pin.
Sew the complete length of the extra wide double-fold bias tape, containing the pennants as you sew down the length of the bias tape.
