About this picture

Rather than trick-or-treating, this kid is at home getting a jack-o'-lantern ready, with a bowl of candy and a lit candle close by on the table. Unlike most other pumpkins in this set, this one's surface is drawn without ridge lines, so it's already a single smooth shape just one tap away from being fully orange. The candle flame is a nice small detail to pick out in yellow before filling in the rest of the scene.
