3. Paint an animal face on your pumpkin. Just like with human faces, you can make it as simple or complicated as you want—you might try painting dog ears on the front and adding a smiley nose and tongue sticking out at the side (if you’re feeling ambitious), or maybe just drawing a few squiggles around the top to make it look more like a cat’s face than anything else!

4. Design an abstract pattern using dots, lines, and shapes in different colors on the surface of your pumpkin.*
