Pumpkins are a Halloween staple; you can't have a Halloween party without pumpkin decorations.  Take these four pumpkin Halloween decorations to fill your house with the Halloween spirit.  If you're not big on the spook factor, try making the Cheering Pumpkins project.  These little guys are festive without being too scary, making them the perfect kid friendly craft.
