That makes a Little Miss Muffet scarecrow appropriate for Halloween. Of course, what's Little Miss Muffet without her spider? Indeed, the spider is a rock star for this holiday with or without Little Miss Muffet, as evidenced by Halloween spider inflatables, for example.
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey;
Along came a spider,
Who sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away.
The spider in the picture above is represented by a simple cut-out. But the genius of the display is in the scarecrow. I love the way the artist conveyed Little Miss Muffet's sense of horror through the shape of the scarecrow's mouth.
