Fancy Pumpkins

Pumpkins are such a prevalent part of the Autumn season.  There are so many different types and colors to add variety to the Fall decor.  Add in the popularity of craft (not real) pumpkins and the design possibilities seem endless.

A very simple idea that would be fun for young children.   Sticking googly eyes all over a pumpkin.

So much character in something that takes so little time to design.

Wrapping grapevine around different varieties of pumpkins produces an interesting look.

Stencils and paint create a festive cascade of pumpkins with a spidery theme.

Bring in the metallics with a beautiful ensemble of gourds.



Various designs of black and white can really pack a punch.

Numerous images (modge podged?) give a different look.

Martha Stewart isn't afraid of using non-traditional Fall colors when crafting her fabric pumpkins.

A very unique look with colorful "mumkins."  Cut holes all over the pumpkin and then stick the mum stems inside the holes.  The moisture from the pumpkin should keep the flowers fresh for a few days.

Holiday decor for those who don't have any mums but a rather large rubber mouse infestation.


Pumpkins have such a beautiful sculptural quality to them that they also look wonderful on their own.  (One of my favorite ways to decorate with them.)
