A round pumpkin is built from two overlapping, translucent washes of vivid orange, with pooled edges and blooming pigment that show the watercolor at work. A green stem and fine, curling vines with outlined leaves rise above it.

Below, the words "our little pumpkin" are written in a flowing black script. The cream, lightly textured background and the generous empty space keep the whole picture clean, gentle and sweet.
