We carved our pumpkins (pictures)

[TigH]

Just finished the pumpkin carving. I found some free stencils on the internet. My sister carved two pumpkins, one is traditional, the other is Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes). My husband carved Tux, the Linux "mascot". I carved a melted pumpkin face.

Sorry for the links - I haven't figured out how to "shrink" pictures to fit in a post, yet.

Were they difficult to carve? Would you mind sharing the site where you found the stenicls?

The Tux stencil came from The Pumpkin Lady's site:

The Calvin stencil came from the Pumpkin Glow site:

The melted face came from the Pumpkin Masters site:

Try searching on "free pumpkin stencils" or "free pumpkin carving".

My husband said it was difficult to carve the penguin, but I think he was just trying to carve too fast. Good luck!
