Coloring a Ghost
Here's the tricky part about coloring a ghost: they're white, and so is your paper! Instead of leaving your ghost blank, try shading the edges with pale blue, lavender or light grey and leaving the middle white. That makes your ghost look like it's glowing.
The real trick is the background. Color the sky behind your ghost dark navy, purple or black, and your ghost will practically shine off the page. A big yellow moon or a few orange jack-o'-lanterns finish it off nicely. And hey, it's your world, who says a ghost can't be pink or green?
