My first soap with some stearic acid added.
I combined Pumpkin Patch, Orange, Amish Harvest & Darkwood Cinnamon fo's and boy did this thicken up quickly! It smells really nice and autumn-ish. I didn't have enough of the straight pumpkin. Also, it is 57% hard oils, so I'm not so sure the stearic was necessary(?) but I wanted to try it anyway:

Wow, the color is beautiful. What did you use for it? It is the perfect orange!

Thank you, ladies. I used pumpkin puree and just a bit of BB orange mica. I have a feeling it will darken up somewhat though. The last time I used a pumpkiny fragrance, it did. I read that Pumpkin Patch will darken significantly, so there goes the pretty orange!
 
Your soap looks lovely and the smell sounds divine! I love the colour now, but I'm sure the soap will continue to look amazing as it darkens.
 
Love the color. I wanted to do some pumpkin for the season but I think I am a bit late getting a FO ordered. I bet it smells terrific
