Painted pumpkins!

These pumpkins were purchased from the Dollar Store....

I painted the pumpkins to change the color a little.  I cut the stem out of the pumpkins and added fall leaves and a candle also from the Dollar Store. 

The finished product looks like this:

I love how they look.  I just placed them in a chicken feeder for the picture.
