Thanks - I'll pass on the compliment.

Personally I'm always quite impressd with the process. She actually draws it on paper first, and then onto the pumpkin before cutting it out.

But it must be said that the best kind of squashes are butternut. They're just funny.

Very scary fangs, nice picture too. I wouldn't have guessed it, but she carves as good as she climbs.

Concerning pumpkin carving: I've found you can make some very intricate pumpkins by using a stencil (e.g. from Zombie Pumpkins. And it's much easier if you have the proper tiny saws that using a kitchen knife. And doing it freehand is just hard. Last year we went a little overboard, especially considering we haven't even bought a pumpkin this year.

I reckon the smellier a pumpkin is, the scarier it is.

But actually it's the best I can do, because they don't have big orange pumpkins here because it's not autumn, and they are not bothered enough to ship them in at great expense. So last year's will have to do.

Sweet.
This reminds me I've been merrily procrastinating on Flickr for over a year.
I'm so proud.
