I wanted to share a card I made with the Halloween Hill die, and also give a tip on extending and varying the hills to make layers like I did below. 

I had this stamped background in my stash - I made it a couple of years ago, when I was experimenting with a reverse resist technique (chalk inks are applied directly to photo paper, then the background image is stamped with Memento inks and quickly wiped away). I used the circle die to create a negative cut for the moon.

Here's a visual to show you how I created the hill layers without repeating the house and tree... I cut the die once, leaving space at the other end of my panel to line up and continue the curve. On the bottommost hill I just cut out the objects I didn't want, using a craft knife.

The sentiment I used was stamped on the smallest square tag - You can find it HERE.

These are the dies I used on my card:
