I absolutely love sugar skulls! There is nothing about them that isn't just really cool. Sugar skulls are a Day of the Dead celebration icon that often get twisted into something evil or scary. In fact, the Day of the Dead celebration isn't supposed to make you afraid, but is meant to commemorate the lives of your deceased loved ones. Check out these examples and I promise you won't be scared in the least.
