We can't stop admiring this colorful ombre painted pumpkin centerpiece we found at Oh Happy Day. It could be an offbeat fall centerpiece or a perfectly whimsical spring or summer centerpiece. That's what's awesome about these particular color choices.

Are you limited to this palette? Hell no! Feel free to grab real mini pumpkins or fake versions and paint them to match your color scheme. If you're just not down with traditional fall colors, you can shake things up with these pastels, jewel tones, or gothic tones of greys and blacks. White to black? Patterns? Tim Burton black and white stripes?! Either way, I'm super inspired to go paint a bunch of pumpkins for my thanksgiving table.
