What a riot using dryer vent material! Another option after painting this could be to further embellish your pumpkin with paint highlights using a small brush with brown, gold and deeper orange or bronze tones. Add a metalic sprig or coil at the stem for an extra little touch! Love the idea of using old dryer vent material! Clever and very creative!
