When you’re finished, click on the Paint Bucket Tool. Use the Color Picker to select a bright yellow fill color.

Make sure that you’ve clicked on the last frame—the black dot to the farthest right—on the layer where you’ve drawn your pumpkin’s face. Then click with the Paint Bucket tool inside of the first pumpkin’s eye. It should turn bright yellow, as if there’s a candle inside lighting it up.

Now do the same with the other eye, nose, and mouth, and you should be done. You can see it work by clicking File->Publish Preview->Flash.

Get your parents to help you add a background and text, or try it out on your own – see if you can make yours look like mine.
