Everyone seems to love PUMPKINS!! That means the "Pumpkin Cloth" is the perfect addition to your Halloween & Fall decor.



This cloth looks great in any color (especially pumpkin & fall colors), making it a stylish

and practical addition to your kitchen or bath essentials.

It also makes a great gift for family and friends.
