Show off your pumpkins!
I love Halloween, and love carving pumpkins.
BabySchnooks (more like ToddlerSchnooks these days) is currently OBSESSED with Thomas the Tank Engine, so we carved Thomas into a pumpkin. She was highly amused this morning.
What have you guys come up with this year?

I posted mine in the "latest photo" thread but am sufficiently chuffed (ha ha) to repost it here. A dragon's eye

Re: Show off your pumpkins!
I knocked this one up in a couple of minutes with only a little bit of cheating.

Absolutely not! The kids all did their own this year, so with no other outlet for my pumpkin-carving fix I decided to do my own. About half way through I began to wish I hadn't chosen to try and copy such an intricate design - serves me right for looking to GoogleImages for inspiration!

I haven't experimented with the "shading" techniques yet... Thomas is just either cut or not cut, though some of the thin lines are just that - thin lines - not rectangles or whatever.
I did also go onto Google Images to find inspiration for Thomas pumpkins, some were quite intense, I found a simple one and added a few extra details.
We do have a second pumpkin, but it's just got Kidlet's first initial in it as she helped do it and you can only do so much with a 2.25 year old, haha. She was very pleased with herself though!!
