Just A Few Friendly Ghosts

For three years now I have added the ghost to the decor of the front entry to our home. They are made out of sheet material with black felt. You can do any combination of large or small ghost and they are slipped over tomato cages. This is always a big hit with my neighbors when I start decorating for fall and Halloween.

I have a timer on the outside plug to turn the lights on at dark and shut off at midnight. The lights are just Christmas lights wrapped around the cages.

The pumpkins are taped and striped with black paint. I did this combination due to the "Bengals NFL" and to tie in the ribbon color on the wreaths. The pumpkins house black crows on the stems.

The wreaths are greenery underneath, attached are the fall leaves and orange and black stripped ribbon. I inserted feathers in the wreath also. The wreath on the right side of the door has an owl perched in the middle of the wreath; the left wreath has a large crow.

Mums in the large urns are different colors every year. This year I chose a yellow golden color to give it a pop of color.
