Creative Coloring Ideas:
• Haunted Mansion: Use dark reds, purples, and black for the houses exterior, a bright orange for the jack-o-lantern on the left, and deep blues and greens for the bushes.
• Spooky Shadows: Draw the moon in a light gray to give an eerie effect. Then draw the bats in black with white highlights. Use shades of blue and purple for the clouds.
• Ghostly Glow: Color the jack-o-lantern on the right yellow, leaving parts uncolored to create a glowing effect. The house can be colored orange or red, and use dark colors like navy blue or black for the bushes.
• Daytime Haunt: Use bright greens for the bushes. Then color the bats in light gray with dark wings. Finally, draw a sunny yellow moon and color the jack-o-lanterns on both sides of the house.
• Creepy Cottage: Color the house in different shades of green to create a creepy atmosphere. The jack-o-lanterns can be red or orange, and use dark colors like navy blue or black for the bushes.
