I carved a pumpkin for the first time last year. I did a really good job and it was really scary. I carved in a demonic-like skull face with long sharp crooked teeth.
A few kids in the neighborhood said my pumpkin was the scariest by far.....
so, I am going to try it again this year except with better tools. I like scaring little kids on halloween. I will put up a picture if I am successful.
