Halloween Pumkin Carvings

Here are my pumpkin carvings for this year. The patterns were found in Pumpkin Masters pumpkin carving books and on various websites like zombiepumpkins.com. I just wanted to challenge myself a little and have some fun. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Totem Pole - Lit
Pumpkin Totem Pole - Unlit

If you are looking for a different way to display your carvings, the pumpkin totem pole is a fun way. These are artificial pumpkins stacked with a dowel rod attached to a base in the center for support. I use leaf garland to cover the spaces between pumpkins and to add some more decoration. The nice part about the artificial pumpkins is that I can reuse them again next year!

I found these great color changing LED lights for pumpkins at the craft store. They add a lot of fun to the carvings!

Scooby-Doo - with color changing light
Scooby probably turned out as one of the best. He was my favorite cartoon character when I was a kid, this is a little nod to him.

Lion - with color changing light
This was originally a tattoo design that I found online at tattooique.com under tribal tattoos. I altered a little to make it suitable for pumpkin carving. Very intricate and challenging!

Hope you enjoyed them! Happy Halloween!
