If Halloween or orange/yellow/brown aren't exactly your favorite, No worries! You can paint these lovely little winter squashes however you see fit. Every design inspiration is open to interpretation, adaptable to your creative whims. You get to choose how simple or intricate, bold or subdued a design statement you want to make in your home. Which is why DIY and Upcycling projects are great. They enable YOUR creativity to shine and lead the way in innovation. And innovation is always good. Even if what you create isn't. (i.e. you get more paint, glue and glitter on yourself than the pumpkins ;)

Have fun creating this holiday season! 

The PAWS are endless. . .
