Victorian Halloween Greeting Card with Boy, Black Cat & Pumpkins

Like a social media influencer documenting something deeply unsettling, this bespectacled little boy in a straw hat peers over a wooden fence with the deeply concerned expression of a child who has just witnessed something deeply wrong. Below him sits what can only be described as a pumpkin having an existential crisis — one normal orange specimen and one grotesquely large and dark with pale spots that read less 'harvest decoration' and more 'eldritch gourd entity.' The large dark pumpkin's irregular pale markings give it an unsettling face-like quality that nobody asked for, crouching in the bushes like it's plotting something. The child's wide-eyed lean over the fence suggests he, too, recognizes that this is not a normal Halloween situation. Presented as a cheerful seasonal greeting; functions as a child's first encounter with dread.
