This Retro Pumpkin Highlights the 1960s Volkswagen Van

Getting creative this Halloween season is simple with this easy retro pumpkin carving. Transport back into the 1960s with a Volkswagen van pumpkin, which is adorably carved to perfection. The white highlighted VW and carved-out eye flaps make the pumpkin sparkle with vintage vibes. The pumpkin is an inexpensive way to spice up your front porch. All that is required is paint and an artistic eye. If you can't duplicate this, then purchase it on Etsy from Peppermintandswish for only $40.

If you or your family members are going as hippies for Halloween, why not transform your house from the same era? To accompany the pumpkin, purchase some amazing fringe and flowers to attach to some surrounding pumpkins. The retro pumpkin is an adorable addition to any Halloween decor.
