• Gothic Garden: Color the cottage itself black (PMS 2965C), but paint the surrounding foliage deep green (PMS 342C). Add some warm brown (PMS 443C) to the ground and leaves. Finally, use a bright yellow (PMS 1235C) for the pumpkins’ stems.
• Haunted House at Dusk: Paint the walls of the cottage dark gray (PMS 432C), but add a hint of purple (PMS 542C) in the shadows. Use orange (PMS 18-1663C) to paint the pumpkins, adding some yellow highlights for an eerie glow.
