A few pumpkins, a few ghosts, and some quieter autumn views.
I kept the colors muted and gave the designs some breathing room around the artwork. There’s a sleepy black cat on a pumpkin, a pair of ghosts wandering through a garden, and a cottage with warm windows in the dusk. The fox, leaves, mountain view, and rainy window can stay on your screen well after Halloween.
Choose whichever one you’d like to see when you open your computer or pick up your iPad. The portrait versions have their own arrangements, with space above the main scene for the clock. Each preview below shows the actual artwork you’ll download.
