Curcubita the friendly ghoul

Happy Halloween, DU!

Curcubita’s not like other ghouls. She dines on the flesh of pumpkins and gourds. I met her on the path to the pumpkin patch at Longwood Gardens. She kindly consented to a photo.

Just think how many velvet Elvis paintings you could make out of that.

There's a velvet cape, a lace garment, multiple skirts, a mix of jewelry.

She was with a group at Longwood Gardens Saturday night during the gardens' annual Halloween celebration and fountain show.

The name "Curcurbita" and backstory are my creation, along with the coloring of the photo, which I did manually, not by using a filter. I came up with the name from curcurbita, Latin for gourd.
