skulls, resize 50, position bottom of frame,

gothic font, resize 50, position to the right of the skulls

book, resize 50, position in front of skulls

web, resize 50, position so it looks like its hanging from the frame, 

making sure the dangling spider is showing just below the book

you may wish to duplicate it for extra definition

NOTE:  once you delete the white background layer your moon will change color 

if you want it to stay grey, then you will need to colorize it before merging
