Erin Reid Turkey PSD
This is a Photoshop painting you can download — in the native Photoshop file format.
I don’t know what Erin was thinking about, but this looks like one of the holiday turkeys out of the Dover collection. (Available in the Publishers’ Warehouse Loading Dock!)

This Free Icon Pack is for use in your personal and commercial projects, and can be used without attribution. It may not be redistributed.

Realistic pumpkin tutorial
Stephen Petrany is a graphic designer with experience in 3D modeling.in this tutorial, Stephen shows you how to create a realistic pumpkin icon with the help of Filters and Layer Styles.
This tutorial is written for users who have a basic understanding of the tools and techniques used in Photoshop. It’s pretty good, but I wouldn’t call it “designing” a pumpkin.

The Thanksgiving icons consist of a pilgrim, a pumpkin and leaves, a zany turkey, and an acorn. They are completely original and are free for personal and commercial work.

Vintage Thanksgiving Postcards
Abduzeedo took the credit for this series of vintage Thanksgiving cards, but in reality, Paulo Canabarro, a Brazilian web designer, put it together.
While not a Photoshop item specifically, it provides some good inspiration into “old time” holiday cards. (Note, we have many, many of these in the Phblishers’ Warehouse)
