Day of the Dead Skull (UPDATED) + Pattern

Although I don't celebrate El Dia De Los Muertos, I LOVE to craft for it.  Something about trying to make something both spooky and pretty presents a challenge I can't resist.  So when I saw this on Etsy.  I had to try it.

I made one yesterday - that didn't turn out as well as I wanted - so I remade another one today.  I think this one is much better?  Here is the pattern:
