Pumpkin carving has come a long way since I was a child in New Brunswick. Carving triangles and a toothy grin into a pumpkin was enough to impress visitors. Now, I’m blown away every year by the talent and creativity behind some truly amazing pumpkin designs. Many of these designs can be easily replicated using free pumpkin carving patterns that you find online, but it can take tons of time to find the best sites.

Mine didn’t turn out like the picture but I had fun trying, thanks! 🙂
Mine never turn out as nice as the pictures but I get better every year. If I had time I’d start practicing as son as pumpkins were ready but who has that kind of time? The best part is mistakes just make it more creepy! I can try to carve a cat and end up with a zombie cat HAHA!
