My second attempt ever, on the left and my wife's first attempt in her life, on the right. Anyone else got some to share ?

did you invert the areas where the candle was too bright?

In my picture ? No. The back of the pumpkin is open. That's what happens when nobody knows what they are doing :)

This is from last year. Just bought this year's pumpkins yesterday so haven't done them yet. That spider pattern looks pretty good, though.

Wow...these are all really good!

I feel so inadequate...my kids and I just carve the standard old triangle-eyed, square-toothed jack-o-lantern year after year. Guess I need to go buy a pumpkin tonight, sit down with the dremel and a pattern or two, and really "carve" it up right. LOL ;o)

you don't really need a dremel - ours were done with old fashioned knives, a poker, and a sharpie. - some simple some more complicated.
a couple were done with a template

the most satisfying thing - for me - about this years pumpkins - was they all came from OUR garden.

Yup, I never did use a dremel, just one of those 'pumpkin carving kits' with a template and a couple of little saw blades.

Our group's pumpkin at school. I drew the outline and carved (no stencil unfortunately). Someone else did the makeup. I wanna rock and roll all night, and party every day.
