Here is a really neat idea for making Pumpkin Topiaries offered by Southern Living. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. What a beautiful entrance!

At the same web site you can find all the instructions for making a Pumpkin Wreath. This would be a lovely November door decoration, or it could also be a table top centerpiece.

A few more ideas for using pumpkins in your decorating:

• Use small pumpkins to hold place cards with your guests’ name.
• A row of pumpkins down the center of your table makes a nice table runner.
• Line your sidewalk on both sides with pumpkins for a welcoming entrance.
• Place a row of pumpkins on your fireplace mantle.
