Prompt
A pixel art scene of a cozy Halloween street at night, cute and welcoming rather than scary. Include a row of crooked but friendly houses with warm lit windows, smiling jack-o-lanterns glowing on each porch, paper bat garlands strung between lampposts, a black cat sitting on a picket fence, and a full moon behind wispy clouds. Limited purple and orange palette, clean dithering in the night sky, crisp pixel detail, side-view game background style.

How to use this prompt
Leading with "cute and welcoming rather than scary" steers the whole render — DALL·E takes tone instructions seriously, and without it the same object list drifts toward gloomy horror lighting. The enumerated props (jack-o-lanterns, bat garlands, cat, moon) each land because DALL·E treats lists as a checklist, so add or remove items by name rather than by vibe. "Clean dithering in the night sky" is what keeps the big purple gradient reading as retro pixels instead of a smooth airbrush. If the pixel sizes come out inconsistent between houses, follow up conversationally with "make the pixel grid chunkier and more uniform" — it corrects better than a rewrite.
Variations to try
- Day-after flip — "the same street on a bright November morning, deflated decorations, leaf piles, one pumpkin rolled into the road"
- Trick-or-treat window — "a close pixel art shot of one porch, a bowl of candy on a stool, jack-o-lantern grinning beside it, moths around the porch light"
