1. 1Fill the big round segments of the large pumpkin and the smaller pumpkin on the right with tangerine orange, and use bright orange on the small pumpkin's segments.
2. 2Color the pumpkin stems with warm brown and add a few burnt orange touches along their sides.
3. 3Color both pumpkin leaves and the leaf stems with leaf green, leaving the curly vines white.
4. 4Color the bow, the bow center, and the three little mouths with coral pink, keeping the eye shines white.
5. 5Fill the lantern glass with pale yellow, the candle with soft cream, and the lantern top, frame and base with charcoal gray, leaving the handle white.
6. 6Optional: Keep the ghost bodies white and add light pale yellow shading near the lantern glow for a softer look.
