Picnic in the Pumpkin Patch

I'm slowly compiling pictures of this year's theme. It was called "A Picnic in the Pumpkin Patch". It wasn't a complicated theme. The idea was to make the house look as if a pumpkin patch had sprouted up inside of it.

I'm posting the first two pictures tonight, and will post the rest throughout the week.

As always, I will have the full collection posted in the Art Ghoullery.

Unfortunately, the lanterns I'd gotten at the dollar store all died within the first hour of the party, so they are dark in the pictures. It really added a nice bit of detailing, having the extra lights hanging in the bushes, around the fireplace, and around the room. I wish I had gotten pictures of it.

The first images are of the pumpkins I made over. In the photograph below, you can also see my poor kale plants that are slowly slipping towards death, but on their journey to an early demise, they've grown into interesting shapes.
