15 Non-Scary Ways To Decorate A Pumpkin For Halloween
Add a Halloween pumpkin to your front door that won’t scare the littles away! If you don’t do scary at your home for Halloween, you’ll love this list of 15 non-scary pumpkin ideas.
Happy (almost) Halloween and BOO, y’all! It’s hard to believe that Halloween is right around the corner! I always get such a kick out of seeing all the sweet and innocent faces of the little ones that come to my door.
It’s all because of those sweet and innocent faces that I don’t get into the scary side of Halloween too much. Shoot, I’m such a wienie that some of the decorations that I see even creep me out, especially if they’re gory. You can always count on me to look away if I spot a ginormous fake spider in someone’s yard or on their house – I don’t even want to look at them!
But that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to have a Halloween pumpkin. No way! I just don’t want it to be scary looking. Whether carved or not, I still enjoy having the traditional pumpkin to greet the trick-or-treaters who come to my door. While searching for inspiration this year, I came up with 15 great ideas.

I like the candy corn pumpkins. We carved traditional jack o lanterns here.
I am in love with those kitty cat pumpkins!! They are beyond adorable! After looking through your posts and commenting on several of them I am going to subscribe to your blog. You have me hooked!
Thank you so much for including my Rae Dunn inspired pumpkins!
Suzy when I saw that Paranoid pumpkin man I was so pleasantly surprised. He really has taken on a life of his own. When I first created him we kept him around after Halloween and he managed to survive a whole year. I like to think it is from all the love he got from everyone. Happy Halloween dear friend and thank you for including my sweet little guy. .
I am just not a fan of scary Halloween 🎃 Love these cute ideas, and so will my grands!!!!!
Haha! These are creative ideas! My kids are always afraid of pumpkins in Halloween. I will try to decorate pumpkins in a more friendly way this year!
Wow these are so creative and gorgeous. My favorites are the cats.
Suzy, imagine my surprise when I saw my beloved Paranoid Pumpkin man on the top of this post. I had created him many years ago and he actually managed to “live” for over a year, taking on quite a distinct personality along the way. Thank you for featuring him. Although the blog is no longer mine, I still think of all the creations as my babies. Your other ideas are super fun as well.
