A pumpkin with a carved face sits on a round hay bale, surrounded by a small string of lights and spiderwebs — exactly the kind of rustic decor you often see in front of houses and on farms around Halloween time.
Two textures to discover
This design offers a nice contrast: the smooth, round shape of the pumpkin against the textured, straw-like surface of the bale. That makes it good practice for coloring different textures — smooth and even for the pumpkin, more irregular and stroke-like for the hay.

🎃 Fun facts: why hay bales are part of autumn decor
Hay bales originally started as an agricultural byproduct of grain harvest, but have long become a staple of outdoor autumn decor — often paired with pumpkins, corn stalks, and string lights by front doors. This combination is especially common in rural areas and at farm autumn festivals.
