Challenge 198: Pumpkin Patch 6

[luminousdaze]

Challenge 198
The new theme is...
Pumpkin Patch 6



It's late but there is still time to go back to the pumpkin patch, again!
For the sixth annual and likely last one, there are pumpkin, autumn and nighttime photo palettes, two all new lists of Halloween and other art prompts & all the fonts from years past.
🎃 🎃🎃

Part 1. Pick-A-Palette

Pick one (and only one) of the seven color palettes below and create your icons using the five palette colors.
Like the last rounds, I made up the palette style traits from the descriptions on colorpalettes.net.

Color palette rules
1. Please choose 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.

Tips: Palette icons do not have to be one color or an exact color match, as long as we can see that the palette colors are on the icons. You do not have to enter five icons or one icon per color.


Part 2. Pick-A-Prompt

There are two art prompt lists made by professional artists, please choose one list to pick your word prompts.
Please use a different word prompt for each icon (or more than one word if you like).

Part 3. Fun with Fonts from the Past

Use any fonts I shared links to for all of IconThat's "pumpkin patch" challenges ever (2020-2024). The posts are tagged #pumpkin patch.
There are over 50 fonts to choose from, most have not been used by members in the challenges before.

All participants, please...

1. When you post your icons, please note which color palette, prompt 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.

Tips
Using Halloween holiday images or autumn season images in your icons is not required.
Please, if you can, try to fit the themes that relate to Halloween such as magic, night, spooky places, candy, Gothic, dark fantasy, supernatural fandoms, sci-fi monsters, black cats, pumpkins, etc. in your own way.

I thought these were usually stickied on top of the page?

[luminousdaze]

Yeah I used to do that, but the challenge post doesn't get hidden unless it's a pass-it-on round where there are a lot of entries, and I wondered if it discourages comments on people's icons by taking up half of the main page view. The side bar has the link under Recent Challenges and the tags module under the !challenge post tag. Since you asked though, I can sticky it for old times sake.
