Have fun and good luck.....

Open one of the two cupboards (MD-Cupboard-1 or 2) from the ZIP.

Everything is on a separate layer so click  it and copy.

Move the rack left in the closet in the hanging part.
Not to low because the hat needs to fit at the bottom.

Copy the hanger with the lilac bow from the sheet.

Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.

Hang it on the hook of your rack.

With your lasso (feather 0) select the part of the hanger
that needs to fall behind the hook. Click delete to remove.

Open a new image 300 X 300 > Transparent.

Effects > Plugins > DragonFly > Sinedots II.
Put all settings like on the screenshot. Don't skip any. Color #40ffff.
So you have to change all settings in red and anti-alias has to be checked.

If you are done with the settings you can save it for future use. (See bleu hand).

of the cupboard beneath the dress.

Move the brew pan in place.

Now copy the feet and top of the brew pan from the sheet.

Edit > Paste > Paste as a new layer.
Place on your magic brew pan. Make sure it fits.
Move a little around so the feet
stand on the bottom (screenshot).

Layers > Merge > Merge visible layers.

Now open the Bewitched-Sheet-2.psp.
Take a look at the goodies and decorate your cupboard.
Put on the shells as you like but leave the top right shell empty.
That one is for the text.

This is how my cupboard looks like:

But you can change everything as you like.
Take a look at my examples at the bottom of this tutorial.

If you are satisfied:
Layers > Merge > Merge visible layers.

All we have to do now is the text.

Foreground locked and background to #dc5e03.

Click and look for the opened JI-Amatol font. That's in the ZIP.
Size 28 > Stroke 0,0 > B for Bold > Anti-alias checked or Sharp.

Type Halloween, your name or other text.
Adjust the size if needed.

Layers > Convert to raster.
