Two young Black girls dressed in Halloween costumes are sitting in the open trunk of a car, ready for a trunk-or-treat event. The girl on the left wears a wide-brimmed hat with a pumpkin on top and a fluffy collar, holding an orange bucket. The girl on the right wears a red witch's hat and a pink scarf, holding an orange treat bag. Both are smiling, and the trunk is filled with colorful decorations and candy.
