It is that time of year when we get large orange vegetables and turn them into something amazing. This year I have been inspired by the hype for a movie coming out later this year and have created this




That's no moon. It's a pumpkin!

Amazing - love it!

Thank you. To light it I am using a small battery powered LED push light.

Well here is my attempt, it could have gone better!

Nicely done - The GTR was certainly ambitious! Works well though, proper PH pumpkin.

The only year we put one in the porch it was like a open day at the Jehovahs witness training ground... the door never stopped knocking! We had to take it away in the end for fear of running out of sweets to give away.

This one is ace - but there's no way I could do this.

Pumpkins - pah, carving for pussies!

This is how it was done in my day - try carving one of those bds out

Really proud of mine

These are my two for this year





And one of them unlit as the phone really doesn't like focussing in the dark

I'm 42 years old & I've never done a pumpkin in my life - 1st attempt is not too bad but the lid has shrunk though!

Already decided what next years is going to be

I'm going for a Toothless (HTTYD) and a Minion template

Just how the heck do people do these things? I can barely cut the top part with the stalk off to open it up and get the innards out.

(Pumpkins are best in soup with butternut squash and ginger anyway...mmmmmmmmmm)
