Idea for Fall Centerpiece

I was out shopping last week at lunchtime in Dallas and I found this wonderful pumpkin centerpiece. This one is about the size of pie pumpkin. They have taken out the top, added spanish moss and some artificial fall gourds and greenery. The great thing is - you don't have to water. The store did suggest a putting a tray underneath it. So far, it still looks great and should last for weeks. My kitten Moxie had to do some inspection once I brought it home.
