A method of decorating the outside surface of a firm-rinded fruit of vines of the genus Cucurbita e.g. a pumpkin with a non-toxic, peelable film of predetermined design which comprises applying to the outer surface of said fruit at least one homogeneous film-forming composition containing a film-forming amount of a nontoxic polyvinyl alcohol polymer, a plasticizer, a volatile solvent ethanol and an amount of a colorant or a mixture of colorants sufficient to mask the color of said fruit, and allowing the solvent to evaporate thereby forming a non-toxic, peelable film of predetermined design on the surface of said fruit. |
