Coloring Tips
- Start with light green for the dinosaur's body, then add dark green stripes on the back for depth.
- Use an orange-to-yellow gradient for the pumpkin, blending from top to bottom for fullness.
- Lightly outline the pumpkin's carved details with black or dark brown to highlight the dinosaur's work.
- Leave small white highlights in the dinosaur's eyes to enhance its happy expression.
- Paint the ground light brown, then add pebble textures with dark brown for layering.
