We caught part of a football game on TV last night and I couldn’t figure out why the beefy football players we wearing pink towels, gloves, and socks. Then it hit me: It’s already October. October = Breast Cancer Awareness month. How great of the NFL players to join forces to represent such an important cause!
I’ve been wanting to paint a pumpkin with an argyle design this fall, and decided to paint pink ribbons for Breast Cancer instead of the typical argyle diamonds. Here’s how it turned out:
I just sprayed white primer on the entire pumpkin, then used a cut-out ribbon shape that I made and traced it on around the outside. I then painted the pink inside of the traced ribbon design. After that dried, I used the edge of a piece of paper as a straight template for the ‘stitches’ in dark gray. That was it!

This is such an awesome way to mix and match argyle and the pink ribbon! I’ve made some pink pumpkins in the past too. I’d love it if you linked up to my Terrorific Tuesday linky party! http://swelldesigner.blogspot.com/2011/10/terrorific-tuesday-blog-hop-time.html
Thank you so much! And thank you for the link to your party – we’re on there!
I love the argyle touch. Seriously, beautiful pumpkin!
Painting the pumpkin in pink is such a fabuous idea. So clever. I need to remember this and and put one on the porch. Thanks so much. I saw the football games too and I loved all the pink. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Love this idea–we get so busy decorating for Halloween that we forget about breast cancer promotions—this is on my to do list
