Setting Pretty

Another take on polka dot pumpkins...which we LOVE, by the way...is using the little miniature pumpkins. Here's how to embellish your table setting with these adorable finds. First paint your pumpkins the color of your choice and let dry. Indicate with a pencil the placement of dots around the pumpkin being careful with a straight line. Trace a small circle at each marking. Paint the circles a contrasting color...for example, try brown dots on yellow or orange on white. Add some napkins and plates, maybe a table runner down the middle or two going across the center of the table (depending on size of table), and a centerpiece of gourds. You've now got your table set for fall.
