Decorative pumpkins often represent an impressive, yet natural decoration of houses and gardens, especially during autumn and winter. They come in different shapes, sizes and colors, so we can use them to create unique compositions. Most of the commercially available varieties of decorative pumpkins and gourds have slightly ribbed or spotted shell occurring in intense colors. Fanciful shapes of particular varieties are reflected in their names, such as "aladdin", "crown of thorns" or "sultan's turban".
