Last night's attendees at Event Barkers' #Coupaween Twitter Party were not disappointed. Seventeen lucky winners got a $25 credit to purchase whatever they wish at Coupaw.com. And one extremely lucky Grand Prize winner also will get to adore her furry friend in the form of a custom oil painting valued at $175.  

Many of these winners will opt for Halloween costumes, while others will grab treats, accessories, pet lover items and more. That's what we love about Coupaw--their variety and fantastic prices. With new deals every day, Coupaw focuses on making sure dog and cat lovers always get the best of what's out there at a great price. No treats from China, toys and products for all sizes of pets, and free shipping on most items are just a few of the reasons we love Coupaw.

Custom Oil Painting of their Pet

Our Event Barkers upcoming #Coupaween Halloween contest has a sneaky little secret. Our Grand Prize winner will be getting a custom-painted oil portrait of their pet in addition to their shopping expedition to Coupaw. This is one great Grand Prize that will be a very special surprise for this lucky winner.

The artist is Debbie Sampson of Art Sports. Debbie specializes in sports illustration and has a nice portfolio of dog illustrations as well. I enjoyed perusing her site and seeing the many cute pups!

Debbie has done a great job of making your Coupaw win as smooth as possible by offering complete instructions here. Custom artwork does take time, but the resulting illustration will be well worth the wait, and something you can treasure forever, eternally bonding you to your pet. The value of this additional prize is $175!

Partnering with Coupaw, Debbie has offered her portraits to Coupaw buyers in offers such as this one. You'll see that she has quite an eye for portraiture. Such talent!
