Pretty Painted Pumpkins
My sister and I had great fun painting pumpkins. The instructions said to first paint them all over in pastel colors. But, I had to mix things up a little.

Next, we used squirt paint – the kind designed for t-shirts – and doodled all over the top of them. These are my sister’s. Aren’t they beautiful?
And this is my final display.
With a couple of detail shots.
The natural segments of the pumpkins make it easier to create a design.
Aren’t they cool?
I can’t take credit for the idea. It came from Alisa Burke’s blog. She has many creative ideas!
These were a lot of fun, but I have to say: they didn’t last as long as we had hoped. I think paper mache might be in order next year.
What seasonal decorations are you using this year?
