Orange You Glad It's Halloween?

It's not one bit difficult: draw an outline of a cat, draw a circle around it, and cut the space between the cat and the circle. Add a candle inside, wait until dark, & light a match.
.
This humble halloween instruction is dedicated to Robin, who should have carved this very pumpkin if only she had not become so obsessed with making cupcakes at midnight; Marie Segal, who is the #1 teacher in the universe of step-by-step directions; Prudie1 just because she so loves Halloween; and Mr. Ryan and Baby Mr. Drew, with whom this pumpkin has taken residence.

Happy Happy Halloween!

  6. Great job on the pumpkin, Pumpkin!

    I get completely grossed out touching the inner slime. I hate it.

    And I don't like Halloween. Go figure! I think I'll turn all my lights out, close the curtains and go upstairs.

    Oh wait. I already bought the little beggers some candy! I guess I'll be a nice hostess.
    I won't be responsible if Emma takes any nibbles out of ankles and toes though.

    BWAAAAAAhahahahahahah!

  10. everyone, it's silly to say thank you and try it repeatedly, so i will just say thank you and try it collectively.

    if you do carve away, use a little knife with a pointed edge and carve off the pieces in chunks instead of trying to push out a whole side, for example. this is true esp. around that little windy tail!

    ps. you can do a witch just as easily. circle for body, circle for head, hat on head, maybe a broom on one side of her. just as nifty.
