Paint Your Own Pumpkin

We trade in the knife for some e-paint brushes as Halloween approaches. Use the color palette on the right and paint your own jack-o'-lantern. Adjust the brush size in the lower right corner if you wish. You can undo each move, too, or just start fresh by hitting the clear button. Print out your pumpkin using the print function in your browser.
