How about orange ornaments?
Here's a paper ornament I made the other day during a coffee break with my downstairs neighbor. They're hanging in my office windows. The ornaments are, I mean—not my neighbors. That would be creepy. To make your own:
1. Download the template here.
2. Print it on colored paper.
3. Cut out each shape, score it on the dotted line, and fold it in half so the printing is on the outside. (It's easiest to cut out the middles after the shape is folded.)
4. Use a glue stick to adhere the side of one piece to the side of the next piece, and so on.
5. Trim off any parts that hang over or don't match up properly.
6. Poke a hole through the top and thread some string through to hang.

Cute ornaments...so very "orange"! :)
I love your sense of humor. I can always count on a chuckle when I read your posts. That would be very creepy to see your neighbors hanging in your windows! Maybe not so much over Halloween!! ;)
Merry Christmas!
They go very nicely with the design on your curtains!
I'm glad about the neighbors, too!
Mum
I'm diggin your print curtains. I know, I know, that wasn't what your post was about, I'm just sayin...
Yeah, the thing about hanging your downstairs neighbor in your windows was in fact a bit creepy. Does she read your blog?
She will if she knows what's good for her!
:^(
I don't mind the occasional neighbor in the window, as long as it's tastefully done.
Barry, I don't know. Elizabeth, do you read my blog? If so, I'm sorry I accidentally said I hung you in the window.
*snort*...I just come here for the laughs now.
