What did you carve on your pumpkin? I took my time and made a really great witch and a Scooby Doo. They turned out great. This morning I already had people on my porch peeking at my pumpkins and I promised my little brother he can smash them late tonight as long as he cleans up the mess 
I painted mine with the picture of a squirrel.
It was going to be a cat with back arched, but it looked more like a squirrel, so I went with it!
I don’t know how to make a link, but I did start a thread the other day entitled What did you carve on your jack-o-lantern?. I think that’s pretty much what you’re going for here.
First, I think this should be a lesson to us all, never try to type and sneeze at the same time. It makes horrible tacky typos then your eyes are so watery afterwards it doesn’t even look like a typo!
Second, bluethree, actually it was an entire pumpkin conversation I was going for. Notice my little part about how my pumpkins would be disposed of? Also the little bit about people being jealous of my cool pumpkins. It wasn’t just the carvings, it was the whole pumpkin experience. I wanted so much more than just the carving details bluethree! I wanted to know more about YOU and YOUR pumpkins! Oh now I will never know the rest of the story and my life shall not be complete! (Note: This last part was a joke, I think my life CAN indeed be complete without knowing about bluethree’s pumpkin disposal but it won’t be as interesting I am sure )
Third, blame it on me, I was not expressive enough in my OP I suppose, plus the typo really threw it all off now didn’t it? I could blame my cold and silly thinking but let’s be honest, I am just goofy and in a hurry most the time. Forgive me dear bluethree for I was not treading on your topic, I was after something…more. I shall never get it now :

I decided I did want to carve a pumpkin that looked like my son, in addition to the big spider jack o’ lantern. So I set off on a mission yesterday looking for a fresh pumpkin. I also refused to pay $10.95 for a perfect round pumkin that someone else painted on, when I just wanted to carve it. At the second store, which was also out of non-painted orange pumkins I settled on a white pumkin. Got that sucker home and discovered it was a bit small for my “pattern”, but I went ahead with the experiment. Cut off the top, scraped out the inside and carved a lil imp looking thing in the gourd. My daughter decided the white pumkin looked too much like a honeydew melon for her to want to leave it alone. She insisted on eating some of the raw pumkin flesh. (And, it’s too hard to argue with a loud but non-verbal 4 year old. I let her have some, thinking she wouldn’t like it. Apparently, I was wrong.)
Once I finished carving and was satisfied with my effort, I went to find the top of the pumkin. It was gone…I searched high and low and never did find it. All I can figure is the kid lifted it from the counter, munched a bit, then the small evil dog stole it and polished it off. I took my topless, elfin white pumkin outside and lit it anyway. Not sure how I’m gonna dispose of the pumkins yet. Probably just haul em to the dumpster. But next year, I’ll buy two pumpkins before Halloween!
