    I usually think I am doing well if I manage to put a couple of front teeth in my pumpkin's grin, but may try a tiger this year!

    They are all fantastic. :T

    We've got a glut of Baby Bear pumpkins this year. One is now part of a sausage and pumpkin casserole. :D
  • I can recommend this site - http://www.zombiepumpkins.com/ - we have done a few of them - Homer Simpson, Pirates of the Caribbean - and they were reasonably straightforward and effective, although you will need a decent pumpkin-carving kit for the fiddly bits. You have to pay for a year-long membership, but then you can download as many as you like, so if you think ahead to ones you might like to do in the future...

    My ambition is to do a Death Star, http://www.fantasypumpkins.com/carving-the-deathstar.htm, but there's no way I've got the time.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I love carving pumpkins, I have done a coue with holloween cara on them. But nothing beats the good old jack o lantern IMO.


    This is only the second autumn since I was eleven that I don't plan to Carve anything. It's too wet to put it on my doorstep, for passers by to enjoy and I have no available window sill.

    I always struggle to even do a simple design. Any tips? although reports say pumpkins will be expensive this year due to poor yield x
