Free to print for personal and classroom use. This coloring page is part of the Pumpkin Jack O Lantern collection, made for teens and adults, drawn in a Stained Glass style. A good pick for Halloween.

🎨 How to color it

Layer the jack-o’-lantern in burnt orange and amber, the crescent moon in pale butter yellow, the bats in smoky violet, and the twisted branches in deep walnut brown. Use sharp colored pencils to work each stained-glass shard from the outside edge toward the center so the black leading stays crisp. Try a cool indigo-to-teal sky behind the warm pumpkin grin, letting the moon and bats feel like pieces of night glass.

The story behind this coloring page

Caius Shares the Hidden Spark — At the edge of the thornwood glade, Caius kept a thumb-sized glass ember tucked beneath his stem, warm as cider and bright enough to make his grin tremble. Read the full story →

At the edge of the thornwood glade, Caius kept a thumb-sized glass ember tucked beneath his stem, warm as cider and bright enough to make his grin tremble. He had saved it from the kiln where the moon’s broken slivers were mended, and he meant to keep that joy secret—wouldn’t you? Then the bats arrived soundless as velvet, the leaves clicked like little locks, and the crescent moon went dim. Caius opened the ember to share one spark, just one; it leapt into every vein of leaf, wing, branch, and pumpkin rind. Ever since, jack-o’-lanterns shine in pieces, because joy that large refuses to stay whole.
