I start hanging pumpkin art the week the maple out front turns. Not Halloween pumpkins, the quiet kind. Line drawings, a folksy print, a little harvest scene that sits above the kitchen window where the light hits it at four in the afternoon.
My partner thinks I overdo it. The neighbor came by for sugar in October and left with three file names written on the back of a receipt, so I think the neighbor disagrees. Most of what is up right now started as a download I printed at home, on warm cream cardstock, in orange ink that I now buy in pairs because I have learned my lesson.
The pumpkins below are the ones I actually printed and propped. A few of these are affiliate links, so if you grab a file I might earn a small cut, no extra cost to you. Pour something hot. Here they are.
The folk-art pumpkin that started my kitchen window wall
This is the one that set the whole window off. A round pumpkin with little folk flowers crawling up the side, the kind of thing you would see painted on an old milk can. I printed it big, almost filling a sheet, on warm cream cardstock so the orange would read soft instead of loud.
It sits in a thrifted frame above my kitchen window now, and the neighbor stood in front of it for a full minute before asking where it came from. The flowers carry the whole piece.
One nitpick. The florals run almost to the edge, so if you frame it without a mat the top blooms get clipped by the lip of the frame. I scaled it down about ten percent and gave it breathing room, and the crop problem went away.
A single pumpkin outline, clean enough for anything
I did not buy this for a shirt, even though that is what it is built for. I printed the outline plain, black on warm cream, and clipped it to the little brass rail above the stove. Skinny lines, no fill, very quiet.
What I like is how flexible it is. You can print it tiny for a gift tag or blow it up for a frame and it holds up either way because there is nothing to pixelate, just lines.
The nitpick is the stem. It is drawn quite thin, and on my tired inkjet the stem came out broken in a couple of spots, like the line had a stutter. I traced over it with a fine black pen and nobody can tell, but on a laser printer it would have come out clean the first time.
The understated pumpkin sketch for the porch shelf
This one is even simpler, more of a loose sketch than a finished drawing, and that is exactly why it landed on the porch shelf instead of the kitchen. Out there it does not have to compete with anything. Just a pumpkin, drawn like someone doodled it on a napkin and meant it.
I printed two, one slightly bigger, leaned them against the wall behind a real squash and a stub of candle. Looks like I tried less than I did.
Nitpick: there is a lot of empty space around the drawing in the file, so if you print it at full page the pumpkin floats tiny in the middle. I cropped in close before printing so it filled the frame, and then it had some presence.
Pumpkin, lantern, boots: the porch in three little drawings
A trio of line drawings, a pumpkin, a hanging lantern, and a pair of rain boots, and the whole set just smells like October to me. I split them across three small frames and ran them down the porch shelf in a row.
Printed in warm cream and a touch of orange, they look like a set without being matchy. The boots one is my partner’s favorite, which surprised me because my partner claims not to care about any of this.
The nitpick is sizing across the three. The pumpkin drawing is noticeably bigger than the lantern in the file, so if you print all three at the same page setting they end up uneven in their frames. I resized each one by eye first so they read as a matched row, which took an extra few minutes.
A little icon set for filling the gaps
This is a sheet of small fall icons, a pumpkin, a scarf, a leaf, the little supporting cast. I did not frame these as art so much as cut them apart and use them everywhere. One went on a jar of cider, one taped to a card for the neighbor, one tucked into the porch shelf to fill a gap.
They print small and crisp and they save you when you have an awkward empty spot and nothing the right size.
Nitpick: the icons come grouped together on one sheet, so cutting them out neatly is fiddly. The scarf has a fringe with tiny gaps that I mangled with regular scissors. A craft knife and a steady hand would have done better than me at the kitchen counter.
The farmhouse lettering I put on everything
This one is a font, not a picture, and it pulls more weight than anything else on this list. A chunky farmhouse style that I used to spell out PUMPKIN across a sign for the porch and a header on the menu for our Friendsgiving.
I printed PUMPKIN in warm orange, framed it, and stood it on the porch shelf next to the boots trio. Having my own lettering meant I could match the rest of the window and shelf instead of hunting for a print that already said the word.
The nitpick is the lowercase letters. The capitals are lovely and fat, but the lowercase set is thinner and a little inconsistent, so my all-caps signs look far better than the mixed-case attempt I made first. I stuck to capitals after that.
The woodland pumpkin scene for a kid’s eye level
Little animals tucked around a pumpkin, the woodland-storybook kind of thing. I printed this one lower, down near the bottom of the kitchen window frame, because it is sweet and small and rewards a closer look. The neighbor’s kid found the hidden critters before any adult did.
The orange and warm cream palette already matched my window, so it slotted right in without fighting the folk-art print above it.
Nitpick: the colors are soft and pale, which I love, but they printed even paler than the preview on my inkjet, almost washed out. I bumped the saturation up a notch in the print dialog before the second copy and it held its color much better.
A small grateful-hearted pumpkin bundle
A bundle of fall pumpkins with little verses and grateful sayings worked in. I am not heavy-handed about it, but one quiet one by the kitchen window feels right in November. I picked the simplest design in the set, the one that is mostly pumpkin with a short line of words.
Because it is a bundle you get several to choose from, so I kept one up and saved the rest for cards I send the week before Thanksgiving.
Nitpick: the bundle arrives as a pile of separate files with names that do not tell you much, so I spent a while opening each one just to see what it was. A contact sheet or a preview grid would have saved me ten minutes of clicking through.
Vintage labels that dress up jars and shelves
These are old-timey labels, the apothecary-pumpkin-patch sort, and they are quietly the most useful thing here. I printed a sheet, stuck them on a row of jars on the porch shelf, and suddenly my random pantry jars looked like a deliberate little display.
The warm cream paper made the vintage tint look aged instead of bright, which is exactly what I wanted next to the weathered shelf.
Nitpick: the labels are sized small and the decorative border is delicate, so when I trimmed them by hand the border went lopsided on a couple. I learned to leave a hair of white margin instead of cutting right to the line, and the lopsided look stopped.
A moon-and-pumpkin print for the late-evening window
Last one, and it is the moody one. A pumpkin set against a moon, more dusk than daylight. This is the print I look at in the evening when the kitchen light is low and the window goes dark behind it. It does something the daytime pumpkins do not.
I kept it in the warm cream and orange family so it would still belong with the rest of the window, just deeper and dimmer in tone.
Nitpick: there is dark sky behind the moon, and a full sheet of that on an inkjet drinks ink and can come out blotchy where the coverage is heaviest. This is the very file I ran the ink dry on. I reprinted it on a friend’s laser printer and the dark areas came out smooth and even, no streaks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where to find harvest festival decorations sims 4?
Different harvest, sorry. The pumpkin art here is real-world printable decor for an actual window or shelf, not custom content for the game. If you landed here hunting for Sims 4 harvest items, you want a CC site like The Sims Resource or a creator on Patreon, not a print shop.
That said, if you want to decorate the real kitchen behind your screen, the files above print at home and go up in an afternoon.
Can I print these at home?
Yes, that is the whole point, every one of these I printed on my own tired inkjet at the kitchen counter. I use warm cream cardstock, the heavy 110 lb stock for anything going in a frame and lighter weight for labels and tags.
One honest warning from experience. The dark, heavy-coverage designs like the moon pumpkin guzzle ink and can streak, so keep a spare orange and black cartridge around, or do what I did and sneak the big dark ones onto a friend’s laser printer.
What file formats do these designs come in?
It varies by listing, so check the description on each one before you grab it. The painterly and scene pieces here come as image files you can print straight away, the outline pumpkin comes as a cut-ready file too, and the farmhouse one is a font you install.
If you only plan to print and frame, an image file is all you need. The cut-ready versions matter more if you want to run them through a machine.
Do I need a Cricut or Silhouette to use these?
No. I do not own one and I used every file on this list with nothing but a printer, cardstock, and a pair of scissors. Printing and framing needs zero special gear.
A cutting machine helps only if you want to turn the outline designs into a vinyl shirt or a precise cut-out shape. For art on the window and labels on jars, your printer is enough.
Before You Print
So that is my pumpkin wall, the kitchen window stacked with folk art and woodland critters and one moody moon, the porch shelf lined with line drawings and vintage labels. Most of it cost me paper and ink and one ruined cartridge.
If you only grab one, make it the folk-art print that started mine. Buy two orange cartridges before you start. Then print the dark one last, when you know how much ink you have left, and learn from my peachy pumpkins.
