Three young witches in pointy hats and robes are gathered around a table outdoors, preparing for Halloween. They are surrounded by pumpkins, some carved into jack-o'-lanterns, and bottles filled with colorful liquids. The scene is set in a rural landscape with houses and trees in the background, under a sky with flying birds.
