Pumpkins are a major fall icon and I’m enthralled with all of their different shapes, colors, and textures - as well as all of the things you can do with pumpkins. Today I’m offering up a pumpkin palooza – a plethora of pumpkin pretties – plenty of pumpkin ideas! There’s still time to carve or decorate pumpkins for Halloween and you can use them for fall and Thanksgiving decorations too.

Who said pumpkins have to be orange, carved or scary? Black paint transforms pumpkins to an interesting vase and accent decor.

Instead of eating the treats try decorating with them. Glue candy to a pumpkin in a pattern of your choosing.

Instead of carving all the way through the pumpkin simply scrape your design part way into the skin and at night it will softly glow.

I love the look of the pumpkins lining the walk but I don’t like the idea of fire in the same vicinity as kids in costumes. I would imagine the pumpkins with lids on would be safe, but the jars with candles do not seem like a good idea. Am I just being paranoid?
I have “shepard’s hooks” lining our driveway at the lake…I’m going to do that BHG photo with pumpkinette’s! My, how pumpkins have evolved! franki
