๐ŸŽƒPumpkin painting time?๐ŸŽƒ

Picked up some Walmart mini pumpkins, and a single dollar tree small pumpkin.
Surprisingly, feel like the dollar tree pumpkin is quite attractive, somewhat larger and I had a nice stalk with a curlycue compared to the Walmart dollar deals.
Right now I am thinking of a tinted Chalked paint base coating.
May follow up with some decoupage or appliqué over top.

Was wondering if there are any new pumpkin upcycling ideas out there -that you might share?

Additionally, picked up one of the ceramic eyeballs. There were three versions that I saw.
Not too sure if it needs further transformation or just display. I feel like the embellishment is off not sure maybe pupil is upside down and reversing the display might be more pleasing.

Lastly grabbed some wooden dimensional embellishments and a cut outs as I had not seen them before. I might need to hunt down the tiny pumpkins or see what else is available at a different location.
