Little Halloween Stories
Part.of.the.Little.Meadow.Series.by.Pearlywinks

Step into the little meadow village as autumn settles over the cottages and Halloween preparations begin.
 
Little Halloween Stories is a beautifully nostalgic, painterly collection filled with pumpkin patches, lantern-lit pathways, cosy cottage doors, handmade costumes and gentle Halloween adventures. Rather than dark or frightening artwork, this collection captures the softer side of the season: children gathering pumpkins, wandering through the village with glowing lanterns, sharing autumn treats and listening to stories beneath the moonlight.
 
The artwork has been created in the much-loved Little Meadow Stories style, with delicate painterly details, soft storybook faces, old-fashioned clothing and a warm vintage palette of pumpkin orange, faded sage, cream, muted plum, dusty rose and charcoal. Every page works together as part of the same charming countryside world.
Throughout the collection, you will discover quaint stone cottages dressed with bunting and wreaths, sleepy village lanes illuminated by lanterns, overflowing pumpkin patches, rustic autumn picnics, sweet shops packed with seasonal treats and cosy storytelling spaces beneath ancient trees. The scenes include a lovely balance of golden autumn afternoons, dusky twilight skies and moonlit Halloween evenings.
 
The character collection features a wonderfully varied group of children dressed in homemade witch, pumpkin, ghost, fairy and storybook Halloween costumes. There are standing, walking, sitting and activity poses, together with a selection of characters shown from behind, making them ideal for placing naturally into the character-free scenes.
 
The Collection Contains
• Backing Papers A coordinated selection of painterly washes, autumn leaves, pumpkins, delicate Halloween motifs, ginghams, stripes, patchwork designs and moonlit patterns.
• Character-Free Scenes Daytime, twilight and evening settings including pumpkin patches, cottage paths, village streets, moonlit meadows, garden gates, rustic parties, sweet shops, bridges and lantern-lit village squares. Because the scenes contain no fixed characters, you can build your own stories using whichever children you choose.
• Characters A diverse collection of painterly children in old-fashioned Halloween costumes, with front, side, walking, seated and true rear-facing poses.
• Elements Pumpkins, lanterns, autumn foliage, flowers, treats, baskets, books, rustic furniture, signs, decorations and other coordinating scene-building pieces.
• Ephemera Vintage-inspired tags, labels, tickets, journaling pieces, postcards, pockets, plaques, decorative seals and seasonal keepsakes.
• Sentiments A carefully balanced mix of Halloween greetings, sweet seasonal sayings, Little Meadow storybook phrases, friendship sentiments and autumn quotations.
• Journal Papers Generously sized writing areas surrounded by pumpkins, lanterns, meadow flowers, village details and moonlit autumn artwork.
• Quick Card Toppers Each page contains a maximum of two generously sized, fully framed toppers. Every topper combines a complete scene with coordinating characters and has been left sentiment-free, allowing you to add the greeting that best suits your project.
