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.
