painted pumpkins

It seems as though I’ve been seeing all sorts of creative alternatives to pumpkin carving lately.  When I saw a great variety of pumpkins at Lunds the other day, I was inspired.  I bought an assortment and then picked up some spray paint at Ace Hardware.

My supplies:

First, I took a damp cloth and wiped down the pumpkins, making sure there was no dirt left anywhere.  Then, I went to town with my metallic spray paints.  I suppose I could have gotten creative with different designs (Burberry themed pumpkins crossed my mind), but I think I will save that for next year.

The three large pumpkins went on a small stool outside of our front door.

The three small guys went on the table in our entry.
