Need some inspiration for how to paint your pumpkins? Look no further, we have compiled some of the best pumpkins for this lovely and spooky season.

Day of the Dead

You can draw some great inspiration from Dia de Los Muertos sugarskulls. The tradition originates from Mexico where surgar is abundant. The friars taught how to make sugar art for their religious festivals. Want to learn more? Read more about the history here!

Keep it bright

We love these brightly colored gourds! These are decorations that we would keep throughout fall (and maybe even longer if mother nature allows it). The simple geometric pattern and a skillfully made ombré create a beautiful pairing.
