True, when it comes down to it, a good picture is the best form of pumpkin preservation. This particular pumpkin for Rumple went soft sooner than I expected. In fact, if you notice the bright spots near the top that's where I had to scoop out mold leaving the shell very thin. I'm lucky I got what I ...

LOL @ Edward Cullen! All good suggestions, I'd go for pretty poison.

Yes, yes it did! Haha! A price I was willing to pay. Thank you.

Bumping this because my whole family would pick a character to carve and we'd love every minute of it. Besides, with the new game Five Nights At Freddy's: Sister Location coming out this would be fantastic!

This is ...perfect.

The circle is now complete.

VERY ecstatic for this one! Thank you, thank you!!

Um, putting in my vote for a snowtrooper since that's my costume when I troop 501st events.

Hello everyone! So I've been using ZP patterns since the very first year then joined on the forum a couple of years later, but I"m not sure I've ever done a personal introduction. Hmm, maybe? Anyway... I've been carving for about 14 years, and every year I try to improve my carving skills. I give ab...

Here are a couple videos to help you remove the headers/footers from the printer patterns. ... Ryan, I LOVE you!!! :love: Thanks very much this worked exactly and now I'm catching up on my printing. It was just a minor thing, but it was really driving me crazy. I appreciate very much that you took ...

This. Is. FANTASTIC!!! I especially love your idea of alternating mascots along the length of the lanyard.

I'm also a fan of key chains and challenge coins!

Who thinks Ryan should release all the other mascots as cut outs? I think that sounds good to me. I'm totally up for this idea! In fact, I absolutely love it!! I never did get the t-shirts from Attack, Revenge and Curse. I remember stupidly staring at my screen thinking, "Why would anyone want a Zo...

OMG :o I LOVE #6!!! Definitely carving this!! And I think I'm doing this fantastic idea: There's a bottom part to that pattern, not pictured in the sample image. You'll see it when you print it. Your choice if you want carve that bottom section or not. If not, I'd suggest placing your carving on an ...

I've got another query I'm throwing out here. Before the launch I couldn't print anything on Firefox, so I just printed it out on IE. No problems. Since the site launch I can print out in both Firefox and IE, but now when I print out a pattern it has the page number and date time stamp on the bottom...

Tomorrow HAS to be the day for this!! I have a pumpkin already cleaned out and ready for a couple of BTTF patterns!

Star Wars and pumpkin carving are my two greatest passions in life, so I'm totally up for this idea.

I love the idea of Leia and other classic characters as well as some from the upcoming movie. Maybe the droid BB-8?

I still have permission to bug the patchmaster for this, right?

Awesome!! I love the new look and exploring the new layout will feel like a treasure hunt. I've long been a fan of Michael J. Fox so I love that his charity is spotlighted this year. :D SO GLAD that I had all of the coloring pages, etc. printed out and saved while they were still there. Nice work, R...
