This simple pumpkin has been one of my favorite "O" symbols to paint for this project so far. I used several different shades of oranges and layered along each of the black lines where the grooves and bends would be in a real pumpkin to give it depth and shadow. At least as much as you can give depth and shadow to a flat piece of wood. The layers of oranges are a little bit hard to see in the photos.
My sister Amber was the one who came up with the idea for the rafia ribbon along the top and the fall oak leaves that are coated in glitter and sparkle. The green vine curls were done with florist wire wrapped around a pencil.
It turned out cute enough I am looking forward to putting it up in a couple days when we get to November and it is time to switch from Halloween decor to fall and Thanksgiving decor.
