🎨 How to color it

Try pearl white with soft lavender shadows for the ghosts, navy and blush pink for their bows, warm amber for the lantern flames, and orange plus black for the checkerboard pumpkins. Use sharp colored pencils for the tiny stars, hearts, plant leaves, and pumpkin checks, then switch to smooth marker fills on the larger ghost shapes. For a polished preppy twist, make the porch ceiling pale sky blue and let the crescent moon glow with a faint butter-yellow halo.

Every evening, Greer counted the porch lanterns before the moon cleared the rafters, tapping each flame’s little glass ping with her pencil. She had just invented a game: match one flicker to one bow, one bow to one star, until the whole veranda felt arranged. Until one night, a checkerboard pumpkin answered with a hush of leaves. Because of that, the ghosts drifted into new places; because of that, the stars seemed to keep score. At last Greer stopped counting and stood inside the pattern, exactly where the lantern-glass ping began.
