Description
Two charming anthropomorphic pumpkins with detailed facial features and warm golden-brown tones face each other in close proximity on this delightfully quirky Halloween greeting card. A grandfather clock stands sentinel on the left, while a blue-tinted inset panel on the right depicts silhouetted bats and a black cat. A blank message space with a floral border occupies the center of the card.
