A little witch carrying two pumpkin decorations

The child wears a pointed hat with a buckle, a dress and cape, and lace-up boots. She holds a pumpkin lantern in her right hand and a staff crowned by a carved, toothy pumpkin in her left. Her complete costume and the two different pumpkin faces create the Halloween theme, with no scenery, writing, or additional decorations around her.

Curious facts about pumpkin lanterns

A carved pumpkin lantern is often called a jack-o'-lantern and is made by removing the inner pulp before cutting a face or pattern into the rind. Pumpkins became a popular choice in North America because they are large, hollow easily, and are harvested during autumn. In modern celebrations, battery-powered lights are sometimes used inside carved pumpkins because they do not produce an open flame.

Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Why is a light placed inside a carved pumpkin?
The light shines through the cut openings and makes the face visible in the dark. The surrounding rind blocks most of the glow, creating a strong pattern.
How can a pumpkin lantern be used more safely?
It should rest on a stable surface away from flammable materials. A cool battery-powered light avoids the fire risk created by a candle.
Why do carved pumpkins soften after Halloween?
Cutting exposes the moist interior to air and microorganisms. Warm temperatures and excess moisture can make decay happen faster.
