My friend and I are organizing a pumpkin carving contest with a bunch of our friends the weekend before Halloween, and have been searching online for some free printable patterns. So far, I’ve found some good ones at [http://www.pumpkinglow.com](http://www.pumpkinglow.com) and [http://www.spookmaster.com](http://www.spookmaster.com). They both have some good patterns, but we are going to need more. I’m also going to check out books at the library and Xerox some copies from there. Does anyone know of any other websites where I can find good pumpkin carving patterns? They can be either simple or intricate, I’m not sure how experienced some of our friends are in the carving area! ---
