Pumpkin Centerpiece - FIUMC

Loved the price of these small pumpkins from the FIUMC - only $3.00 each. I spend $12 on three bunches of flowers at Publix. I put one together, I am no florist designer so am hoping the next few are a little better!
I used a Styrofoam cup (cut down to size, so did not show), filled with water. Using glass florist beads or a few stones or a florist frog or a foam block may help with the arranging of the flowers.
The clear up I intended to use was too big for this pumpkin.
I cut a few stray sprigs from our yard and two long stems of rosemary as fillers.
I put tissue paper collar around the cup, to hide the edge of the cut pumpkin and foam cup; really needs a wide ribbon and bow.
Photo from the web; saw several with fake dried Fall leaves, very nice:
I have made these in the past, and hopefully make a few more to give away, pumpkins are a nice decoration up to Thanksgiving. 
Update: I gave this first one to Steve, our hair appointment on Tuesday; he has been sick for a few weeks, so hope it cheered him up!
