I'm updating some older fall decor and these pumpkins and basket are on my list of "to do" stuff. So I'm going to paint them , something different, something more... hmm![icon](http://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/resources/design/emojis/1f914.png)

I started with Marshmallow color from Country Chic (thanks for the gift!) and painted both pumpkins.
I wasn't sure what color to use so I tested a few out on the bottom of one pumpkin. I like the darker one ![icon](http://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/resources/design/emojis/1f44d.png)

I used a small flat brush around the stalk,
then started to make lines down the seams of the pumpkin. I used the brush to dab on the line (a sort of smudge). I just followed the lines on the pumpkin! Super easy! Wow they look great!![icon](http://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/resources/design/emojis/1f60d.png)

I then painted the basket with the Marshmallow too!
Added some moss.
Now add a few little leaves to the mix and FINISHED!!
That is what paint can do! Love
my updated pumpkin basket ! Now they have some character!
