Celebrate the spooky season with my charming “Pumpkin Bear” Halloween greeting card, a delightful blend of traditional and digital artistry that captures the essence of autumn festivities. This card features a heartwarming illustration of an adorable black bear, rendered in exquisite watercolor and gouache, holding a classic Jack O’ Lantern. The bear is adorned with a whimsical witch’s hat, adding a touch of Halloween magic to the scene.
 
Set against a backdrop of crisp fall leaves and bare tree branches, the detailed ink work brings to life the textures of nature during this enchanting time of year. The warm sepia tones and soft washes create an inviting atmosphere that contrasts beautifully with the stark black fur of our festive bear friend.
 
The front of the card is emblazoned with a bold “HAPPY HALLOWEEN” greeting in an eye-catching font that complements the artwork perfectly. Each card comes with a complementary kraft envelope, ideal for sending your season’s greetings to loved ones near and far.
Whether you’re looking for a special way to send your Halloween wishes or seeking an artistic addition to your seasonal decor, my “Pumpkin Bear” greeting card is sure to be treasured by anyone who receives it.
 
This card is available as a digital download on my Etsy shop for those who want to save some money and time and print it themselves.  Please visit Spoonwood Studio's Etsy!
 
My cards are created as I would create an archival print. I stuggle with the idea that greeting cards are seen as disposable. I want the faces of my cards to be cherished and not discarded. Each card is printed with Epson UltraChrome K3™ archival inks on my Epson Pro 3880 printer and the finished with an archival UV finish glaze on the face. You can use a fine X-acto Blade or scissors and carefully cut the card in half and slide your card face into a frame!
