HIST! and HARK! Draw close and tremble! 'Tis this night that ghosts assemble!

Description

A bold Art Deco border frames this delightfully eerie Halloween greeting card, showcasing an anthropomorphic pumpkin-headed girl with an impossibly cheerful expression. The character's round orange jack-o'-lantern face sits atop a second pumpkin body, creating a whimsical stacked silhouette. Dressed in an orange pumpkin-shaped skirt and white stockings, this curious figure is surrounded by appropriately spooky companions—a black cat, a brown owl, and a black crow perched on a gnarled branch above. The accompanying verse playfully declares 'HIST! and HARK! Draw close and tremble! 'Tis this night that ghosts assemble!'—a perfect blend of child-friendly fright and seasonal cheer that epitomizes 1920s Halloween aesthetic. The girl wears a blue bow and green collar, and orange shoes.
