A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.

1. 1Start with the sidewalk, porch steps and ground areas in light gray, leaving the leaves on the path white.
2. 2Paint the house walls, lanterns and robot body in dusty blue, and fill the front door with brick red.
3. 3Color the trees and bushes with leaf green and lime green, and add golden yellow to the tree top and the cat's head.
4. 4Fill the three candy buckets and the jack-o'-lantern pumpkins with pumpkin orange, then color the cat's sweater lavender purple and the robot's face and hands skin peach.
5. 5Color the ghost's jeans-style legs and robot's legs sky blue, keeping the ghost's sheet, eye whites and the cat's cream neck area white.
6. 6Optional: add a darker tan shade under the bushes and a little sky blue on the window panes for depth.
