They look a little like leggy spiders or as if they were dripping blood. Either way, these black-and-white pumpkins are just as eerie as they are beautiful. To re-create the look, start with white pumpkins and drizzle a paint color of your choice down the sides, or dip small ones entirely in paint. Note: At the end of the season, painted pumpkins should be disposed of in the garbage, rather than in the green bin or a compost pile, unless you used nontoxic paint.
