Freckled Pumpkin in a Witch Hat with October 31 Lettering

A cheerful round pumpkin wears a big witch hat with a buckle and a scalloped brim, and it looks up and to the side with wide eyes, long lashes, and freckles across its nose and cheeks. A few drops run down the side of its face, and its grin shows one little tooth. A curly vine swirls out from the left side. Above the pumpkin, bubbly letters spell October and 31 in a jumbled, stacked arrangement, each one filled with swirls, leaves, and wavy patterns. The pumpkin's ribs hold circular, citrus-slice style designs. Try coloring the hat in deep purples and keeping the face simple with orange, so the small freckles and eyes stand out. Fine-tip markers or colored pencils work well for the detailed letters. It also makes a good spelling warm-up for kids learning the month name and the date.
