A Friendly Halloween Ghost Beneath Towering Pumpkins
friendly ghost · Halloween story · gouache · pumpkin stack
Design a 9:16 portrait illustration for a vertical Halloween social story, featuring a small friendly ghost standing beneath a tall stack of carved pumpkins. Place the ghost near the bottom third, holding a tiny blank treat bag, while the pumpkins rise diagonally toward the upper right. Use rounded shapes, expressive but gentle faces, and softly textured gouache brushwork. A deep plum background should contain a few floating leaves and distant golden stars, leaving a calm area near the top for optional interface overlays. Light the stack from within using honey-colored glows, and retain distinct silhouettes at a small phone-screen viewing size.
