and his pumpkin...
Growing up, this little guy was my absolute favorite Halloween decoration.
He has an opening in the back so that you can light a candle and illuminate him and his pumpkin friend.
I couldn't wait until it was time to take him out of the holiday box and set him out on display.
Over the years, though, he's gotten a little chippy and faded, so I decided this Halloween it was time for a makeover!
I pulled out the paints and went to work.
Now he's feeling much more BOO-tiful!
And his pumpkin friend is looking brighter too!
They both would like to wish YOU a Happy Halloween!
