Vintage Halloween Pumpkin Scarecrow Greeting Card Early 1900s

Against a stone wall backdrop with a billowing white ghost-sheet body, a glowing jack-o'-lantern head dominates the composition, its black-gloved hands splayed wide in the universal gesture of 'I have absolutely lost my mind.' The pumpkin's triangular eyes and jagged grin beam with the unhinged confidence of someone who has never once doubted themselves, all set against a teal sky scattered with little red stars because apparently regular yellow stars weren't chaotic enough. 'Merry Hallowe'en' is carved directly into the stone wall below—because if you wanted to convey festive holiday cheer, obviously a disembodied gourd in a ghost costume demanding your good wishes from a rocky outcrop at midnight is the move.
