Challenge 177
The new theme is...
Pumpkin Patch 4

It's time to go back, yet again to the pumpkin patch!
For the fourth (and this time likely final) pumpkin patch, there are new palettes, Halloween art prompts & an option to use fonts from the past.
Because of the extra reading involved, this challenge will be open for 18 days and you can enter up seven icons!
Part 1. Pick-A-Pumpkin Palette
Pick one (and only one) of the five palettes below and create up your icons using the five palette colors.
Like the last rounds, I made up the two pumpkin palette traits from the descriptions on colorpalettes.net. We've already used so many of the good pumpkin palettes from there that I made two new Halloween pumpkin palettes for this challenge.
Palette Pickers Please Read:
1. One palette per person! If you want to make more than five icons total, you must repeat your colors, or use an option (word prompts or fonts) for the other two icons.
2. Please include in your post the list number of the palette you chose, so we can all see which kind of palette "personality" suits your fandoms or your own icon design style.
Part 2. Pick-A-Prompt
There are two art prompt lists made by professional artists, please choose one list to pick your words.
Please use a different word prompt for each icon (or more than one word if you like).
You do not have to make icons of Halloween witches or ghosts, but if you can, try making your icons a little spooky or autumn themed, to fit the spirit of the prompts.
Part 3. Fun with Fonts from the Past
Use any fonts I posted for iconthat's pumpkin patch challenges one through three. The posts are tagged #pumpkin patch.
There are over 40 fonts to choose from so there's a good chance most members never used one of the fonts before.
All participants, please...
1. When you post your icons, please note which color palette, prompt list and words and/or fonts you used to make them.
2. Using all three of the challenge options/parts is not required.
You may choose to use either one palette, one or all of the fonts or one prompts list. Or combine the three options for your icons.
❇️ Create up to seven (7) icons based on the given theme/prompt/topic.
❇️ You may use any fandoms: TV series, movies, comics, video games, actors or celebs from music, sports or fashion.
Stock photography or illustration (no fandom) is also allowed.
▪️ Please, no real-world politics or religion topics.
▪️ Please, no NSFW/18+ or mature content in entry icon images.
▪️ Please see the profile for updated rules about kinds of animated icons & AI art icons allowed.
✳️ Icons are 100x100px, 60kb or less. Icons be still/static or animated.
✅ Icons should be all new, made by you for iconthat & not previously posted elsewhere for any other challenges or blogs.
✴️ Please post your icons as a new post to the community. If you can, please add the challenge tag to your post.
📋 Icons entered for the challenge should follow the community's rules, and fit the given prompts, or they may be disqualified at the moderator's determination.
☎️ If you have any comments or questions about the challenge, please leave a reply below.

☙❦❧
☙ Fun With Fonts from the Past ❧
As I wrote above. Pick any of the supplied fonts from the pumpkin patch challenges from 2020, 2021 and 2022.
☙❦❧
Tips: Palette icons do not have to be one color, as long as the palette colors are obvious to view.
For extra-difficult mode, try using only the exact palette (hex code matching) colors and two or three of the palette colors on the same icon.

If you can't ever view my palette images or the other images, let me know. The ones from colorpalette.net are linked to the website.
The "Ghostober" list is on the artist's website (linked above). I think the "Witchtober" list is only available at the blog post at "Inktober Alternatives" at Brushwarriors.com (link in the credits) or at the artist's Instagram which may require log-in to see if it's an older post (Instagram locks me out me for not having an account).
