Two smiling children, a boy and a girl, are standing in front of a spooky house at night, surrounded by jack-o-lanterns and Halloween decorations. The boy is wearing a plaid shirt and vest, and the girl is wearing a green hoodie. They are both holding pumpkins, and there are several toy airplanes flying in the sky.
