Vintage Halloween Greetings Card Children Jack-o-Lantern

Halloween Greetings
Description
"Look what we found!" the scene seems to proclaim as two children work together to carry an enormous jack-o-lantern on a pole or stick, with one child at the front and one at the back. A small dog runs alongside them. The children wear blue jackets, white shirts, green shorts, and red capes or collar details. While the original description claims the children's 'faces beaming with mischievous delight,' the children appear focused on carrying the pumpkin rather than displaying clear mischievous expressions. More importantly, the description states 'one child gripping its stem like a handle' — the pumpkin is actually carried on a pole or stick between the two children, not gripped by the stem. The description also incorrectly states 'community costume fun' when the children do not appear to be in costumes beyond possibly capes.
