5. Impatiently, I painted most but not all of the bottom
(so I could sit them on newspaper to dry w/o getting stuck)
6. Set pumpkin down on newspaper to dry
(mine: about 10 minutes; depends on your paint/thickness)
7. Go crazy and paint a whole patch's worth.
8. Depending on the crafty quality of your pumpkins, some will look more real than others.
9. In the right light, that big one actually looks like the coveted blue pumpkin I want.
