Thanks!  The shadow pumpkin was a bear. Undecided  I thought I was fairly good at carving, but that one really tested me.  There were lots of mistakes, although they didn't show at night when the pumpkin was lit.

Cindy, your pumpkins are unbelievable!  Shocked I also love the Indiana Jones pumpkin! It looks haunting and a bit three dimensional, like he's coming at you! Love it!  Smiley

Cindy they are amazing  Shocked.  I see what you mean about the thin lines on Sleeping Beauty but you have done them perfectly  Grin.  I just want to know how you found the perfect shaped pumpkin  Wink.  My favourite is the Super Mario  Grin

Great job, Sara!  I had thought about carving the Rob Zombie design, but figured that no one in my little town would recognize it.  Did you do one and your husband the other?

Thanks everyone Smiley

Yup, we each did one (I did Jack).  I don't know that many people here would recognize Rob Zombie either, but the design was just so neat looking.

I found another good site with pumpkin carving patterns.  It's called JP's Jammin Pumpkins.  There are patterns for Snape, Voldemort and Hagrid!  The only problem is that you have to join in order to view the images, but trust me, the HP ones are good. Cheesy  There's also a really good pattern for Darth Vader.  So many patterns, so few pumpkins...

This is so spooky  Shocked  I was looking for pumpkins in Tesco's that I could have a stab at but they haven't got them in yet.  I was debating whether to bother this year but with the new site I am definately having a go.  Thanks Cindy  Grin

My 4-year old daughter has asked for a sleeping beauty pumpkin this year and I can't find the stencils anywhere.  Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks for any help you can give.
