Welcome to the coziest season! It's so nice to see you here! I‘m Averil, and I‘m here to bring you just the right ratio between cozy and spooky - you can read more about me and my art in the „About me“ section.
This campaign is all about moody, cozy and ultimately spooky pins - autumn colors paired with way too many eyes. From strange four-eyed kitties to leaves and mushrooms that have eyes in odd places. To make it extra spoopy, all the eyes will glow in the dark!
To celebrate this campaign, I've prepared a lot of extra goodies that you can grab!
If you back both "All eyes on fall" (this project) and "Wandering Souls" then you can get two extra pins. And if you back another Pintober project on top of that, you'll get another three extra pins, so five total! Scroll to the bottom of this page to see a few Pintober projects that I personally recommend, but they're just a small selection out of over fifty projects to choose from!
Our initial goal unlocks 1 pin and all freebies, every 200€ unlocks the next! Please pledge for all the designs that you want, we're most likely unlocking them all so you can choose them all. If your favourite design doesn't unlock until the end of the campaign, you can change your pledge to fewer pins. All pins are around 4cm (1.5") and will be backstamped, gold plated and come with two pin posts. The eyes all glow in the dark!
At base, we unlock the Pumpkin Cat! And for each 200 we raise, another pin gets unlocked. -
And lastly, two pairs of cat eyes. A set (1x left + 1x right eye) counts as 1 normal pin.
Add-Ons
Add-Ons are stickers and acrylic charms.
Stickers
Stickers are 3" and with holographic border! Fully waterproof.
Keychains
Keychains are 2.5", with faux gold clasp and rainbow effect in the transparent parts - depending on light and viewing angle, it changes colors between yellow and blue. Print is double sided.
NEW: POSTCARDS They will be A6 size, which is approximately 4.13“ * 5.8“. The back side is writeable and the front side has a smooth matte finish. And lastly - now that the pumpkin set is unlocked, I‘ve made the sticker variant of them! The pot is 3“ and the others 2.5“. They will have a holographic star overlay (not the silvery holo that the other stickers have). You can choose them via the same sticker packs as the other stickers, e.g. if your pledge level contains any stickers, or you have stickers in your add-ons, these will appear as a choice!
Because we’ve been blowing our intial goals out of the water, I’ve taken the opportunity to create 3 new fall themed pins as well as 7 new mini pins - one of them will be FREE under certain conditions!
But first things first! You may be familiar with my previous project. “Magic Tea Party”. Someone kindly suggested to make a pumpkin themed tea set and here it is! The spices are common to go with all things pumpkin - both for pumpkin chai and pumpkin spice lattes, so the exact interpretation is up to you (I’m personally team chai haha!) These count as normal pins, so any tier that has any of the other main pins already has them as options, as does the Extra Pin Add-On.
Here’s some mini pins that we will unlock one after another. Perfect to fill space with your main series pins!
And if you worried about the lack of cats in the mini pins… How this works: when we hit 11500, everyone who backed 12 or more pins will get it for free. And the higher the milestones go, the more people will get it for free until it is unlocked for all backers!
For those of you who are new to crowdfunding, let me quickly run down how it works! While the campaign is active, you can choose your pledge tier and any add-ons and only pay after the campaign. You will not be charged if the campaign is not successful. And while the campaign runs, you are free to change or cancel your pledge as you wish!
Please note - the pins that will be made depend on how well we do fund our campaign. Please see the Project Goals section below!
Simplified Campaign Timeline - See below for details!
Why should you back now?
- With your pledge, you help this project come to life
- Many freebies during the campaign - the best deal you can get! - You get the pins earlier than most - it takes a good while before they go in my online shop and may be sold out for a while after the campaign! - For USA backers: I will cover a large chunk of your tariffs only during the campaign! See the Shipping section below for more info
Pay over Time
If you don't want to pay your full pledge right when the campaign ends but still want all rewards, you can use Backerkit's Pay over time feature. It's a interest-free payment plan, divided into four payments! Please note that: -The survey will only become available to you after your payment is completed - No refunds on partial payments - Your reward will only ship once the payment is complete. I will order enough of all pins and other add-ons so that there will be no disadvantage for the late pledgers.
Welcome to Pintober! — a celebration of creativity and collaboration from a diverse group of artists collectively running enamel pin crowdfunding projects from Oct 8th through Nov 1st.
Freebie Cross-Collaboration Pins —Back 3 or more Pintober campaigns and get a free sweet treat mini-pin from each of the artists you have supported! 🍬🍬🍬
October: Campaign Runs November: First Payment is collected. Surveys are being sent. - Once 80% of surveys are completed, I will place my order with my manufacturer - Orders will lock at that point too. - First payment just covers the pledge+add-on value, not shipping December-February: Manufacturing March-April: Second Payment, Fulfillment - The second payment covers shipping and if applicable, taxes - If you made extra purchases through the survey, those will be charged too
Keep in mind that delays can happen in manufacturing Sometimes the first batch of pins has quality problems, and in those cases they will be re-done which causes more delays. So please don't bank on the timeline! I have planned 3 months for production which is normally enough, but sometimes pins will arrive with insufficient quality and then I will get them redone.
Shipping is charged after the campaign. They are not included in the pledge levels / add-ons. These shipping rates are valid as per time of the campaign, and most likely will be accurate. In some cases adjustment may be necessary!
For all countries except US, I'm applying a flat rate no matter the order amount. Germany: 5€ (order includes VAT) EU: 8€ (order includes VAT) Non-EU Europe: 8€ (import fees are up to you) USA: 12€ + 15% tariff (see next section) --- Please note: this rate is for mainland US. For Hawaii and Alaska, I cannot guarantee a shipping rate yet, it may be closer to 25€. I will try my best to find a cheaper rate by the time of fulfilment! Rest: 10€ (import fees are up to you)
USA Tariff Info
I'm shipping with your tariffs pre-paid, that's why you will pay a bit extra after the campaign - 15% of your total order value, paid together with shipping and any post-campaign purchases that you make.
I am covering a part of your tariffs out of my own pocket, included in the pledge tier price. Consider it a discount to offset the increased cost. This is a Backerkit exclusive offer, as normally tariffs for pins from China are a whopping 48% as of October 2025. This also means that the net value of your parcel is a bit lower than the pledge value, about 10-11€ per pin (for those who are writing it down in their taxes) as the rest of the collected amount is just tariff.
Example: You pledge for 1 pin, totalling 15€. Add 15% of your pin (2.25€), putting it at 17.25, of which 11.65 is the declared value of your pin and around 5.60€ of the amount you paid is going to be used to pay tariff in advance. Normally, I would charge the full 15€ and apply tariff on top of that which would put the pin up to 22.20€ so you save around 5€!
Please note: the tariff info is subject to change. - If tariffs are scrapped by the time of fulfillment, you will NOT be charged 15% extra (let's all pray) - Tariffs may also become higher. I will try my best to not charge you more than 15% extra, and will absorb minor fluctuations. If they become a threat to fulfillment, I will also offer the option of refunding your pledge.
Lastly - let me introduce mysel! My name is Averil (or Ming, in real life) and I run DoomBloomArt, a little art shop. I love cozy themes in strong vibrant colors, as well as a little creepy twist!

This is a crowdfunding project and as such, there may be some challenges on the way. Please do familiarize yourself with the risks before pledging!
Delays I have sketched out a timeline that is generously factoring in a certain amount of delays already. Ideally, we should always be ahead of that timeline, but that being said, the opposite could still happen since a lot can happen in the manufacturing and shipping process.
Design Changes All images provided are design mock-ups. They will not perfectly translate 1:1 into the real product in color, line thickness and other minor details, but I am doing my best to provide the manufacturers all the info they need to make it as accurate as possible.
Funds There is no risk of the funds running out to the point of endangering the fulfillment of this project. I am committed to this project and if the raised funds are not sufficient, I will pay the difference out of pocket.
Quality Issues Lastly, there is a risk of the manufacturer providing poor quality pins. Most pins do have some minor imperfections but they are usually not very visible, the rate of pins with more visible flaws can range from 5%-20% usually. In order to offset this, I will make sure to order at least 50% more pins than needed, so that there will be enough high quality pins for everyone who pledged.
Here's some fineprint - please read carefully! By backing the project, you agree to these terms.
Your responsibility as a backer
- Fill your survey out in time. I will order extras of everything but there's no guarantee for late surveys that everything will be available.
- Double-check your address and especially make sure to change it if you move between your initial survey response and the fulfillment! Backerkit will send you an email when the addresses will lock. - Check your payment status. Both payments need to go through (pledge + shipping) in order for me to ship something to you. If your second payment fails and you dont fix it, your first one will be considered a donation.
Refunds
Since all funds are being used to ensure the production process, I reserve the right to decline refunds after the campaign ends, especially after production begins. During the campaign, you can modify and cancel your pledge anytime. Additional add-ons made through the survey can be modified until the orders lock. Please spend responsibly and use these features.
Tariffs and import fees
For American backers, a part of the tariffs are covered by me, and a part by you - you pay 15% instead of 48%! For Germans and EU citizens, VAT is included in your pledge. For everyone else, the import fees are up to you at arrival.
