You have one week left before Halloween to decorate your pumpkin. If you need last-minute ideas for adorable pumpkins, I scoured three playful designs. First, look how sunflower seeds and a glue gun can turn a pumpkin or a squash into an adorable owl.

Or you can turn your pumpkins into a candy jar. The witch around a campfire is so cute.
