These days, carving pumpkins has well surpassed the scary face/happy face images we used to place on pumpkins as kids. There are kits, paint and special carving implements to help you create a pumpkin masterpiece.
How do you decorate your pumpkins? Traditional? Avant garde? Here are a few of my favorites from Southern Living magazine.
Dear Great Pumpkin,
I am looking forward to your arrival on Halloween Night. I hope you will bring me lots of presents.

Thanks for showing some other examples than the traditional. I think I will do something different this year
We have always let our children each choose a pumpkin and then its design. A couple of years ago our younger son was obsessed with the Florida Gators and decided he would carve the team logo into his pumpkin. After a few trips to the local gourmet cooking store to buy some serious carving tools, I now strongly encourage traditional designs! Have fun with your little ones!
We used to have a contest in my family but we decided to not do it this year. I think we're all running out of ideas and time. So we have uncarved ones everywhere and it was fun for Stella to pick out all the baby ones.
Love pumpkins! I had husband carve our monogram one year. Martha has a lot of cute ideas too!
