limited-edition collection of tees for the 2012 Halloween extravaganza.
The t-shirt brand with
a recipe for success, Johnny Cupcakes has teamed up with Sanrio®
to put its quirky, spooktacular spin on the iconic imagery of Hello Kitty, creating an exclusive series of
Halloween-themed tees, surprise hoodie and accessories for adults and

twist on this celebrated icon just in time for Halloween,” said Johnny
“Cupcakes” Earle, founder of Johnny Cupcakes. “We hope fans enjoy this special
treat, but be forewarned, the trick will be getting a chance to grab one of
these coveted items before they’re sold out!”
