    Day of the dead is usually associated with Sugar skulls, Ive never seen a gypsie head, altough it looks very cool.

    Ok so i've checking the meanings for day of the dead skull (sugar skulls) and gypsy heads seperately and i came up that sugar skulls are for remembering people who have died and gypsy heads bring the owner good fortune.So I just sorta combined the two and came up that the day of the dead gypsy head remembers the dead and brings the owner good fortune :confused::confused::confused:.Would anyone agree?
