Vintage Halloween Precautions Witch Pumpkin Greeting Card

A witch's unhinged open-mouthed expression and alarmingly pointy hat loom over a large orange pumpkin carved with white crescent-shaped marks, while she clutches a broom like she's about to file a strongly-worded complaint and a black cat stands on the windowsill beside what appears to be a glowing green vertical element in the background — all framed by the card's title 'Halloween Precautions,' as if the real danger isn't the witch herself but rather the logistical challenge of planting ten pumpkin seeds in a cross pattern in front of your door to ward her off. The poem at the bottom cheerfully instructs readers to harvest seeds, trek into witch-infested woods, and perform seed geometry on their doorstep — advice that reads less like a greeting card and more like the opening chapter of a lawsuit against Big Halloween.
