A Friendly Pumpkin Welcome
This jack-o’-lantern has a big, happy grin ready for Halloween visitors. Its carved eyes, nose, and smile turn an ordinary pumpkin into a glowing porch friend. Think about the evening sky outside and the excited trick-or-treaters walking up the path. You can make the face look bright and warm, spooky and silly, or anything in between. There is no wrong way to decorate a pumpkin with such a welcoming smile.
Pumpkin Glow Color Ideas
Start with a classic orange pumpkin, then use darker orange lines in the curved sections to show its ridges. Color the stem brown or green. The cut-out face can be sunny yellow, bright gold, or pale cream, as if a little candle is glowing inside. Add deep purple or navy around the pumpkin for nighttime. Black bats, green vines, or a brown porch can finish the Halloween scene.

Pumpkins are a type of squash, and they grow on long vines. Many pumpkins are orange, but some can be white, green, blue-gray, or even striped. A jack-o’-lantern is a pumpkin that has been hollowed out and carved with a face. People often place a safe light inside one for Halloween. The biggest pumpkins can grow heavier than a small car, but this smiling one is just right for a porch.
