I wanted to show you an "after" picture prior to the "before" picture to catch your attention. 
See what I mean....you may have averted your eyes and skipped right over this post had these shown up on your blog roll "snippet"
This was the orange one....
and this one was sporting the spots!Isn't it amazing what white paint, twine, doilies and rosettes can do?
I forgot to take a before of this one. The pumpkin is made of canvas and the stem out of burlap - it was all "grunged" when I bought it so I painted it white and prettied her up.
Wanted to show you the detail on the plates I have the pumpkins sitting on. I got six of them at Home Goods. They had an entire line of dishes, wall decor, salt & pepper shakers, etc. to go with them but I didn't want to get too carried away.
They're not dishwasher safe but that's okay - I mainly use them as chargers and for decorative purposes.

Your pumpkins look gorgeous painted white and all dolled up! That's why I love shopping those after holiday clearance sales, you never know what cheap trash can become your treasure. :)
love the pumkins... the plates too!
LOVE! Very pretty pumpkins! I am having a Fall/Halloween linky party, and would love it if you linked these up!
It was so smart the way you prettied up those pumpkins. They're adorable. I am so gonna watch for a big orange one and copy your great creative idea!

Your 'new' pumpkins turned out beautifully Diane! Much better than the 'before' pics, and they look lovely all lined up on your gorgeous dining table.
Happy Fall!
