Thanks guys! I was thinking I wouldn't bother with another "creative" photo, but as I was carving, I started thinking about it. Finally I found myself rushing, trying to beat dusk and a missed photo opportunity.

My son helped me. He was the photographer as I moved the pumpkin out of the tree and closer to him. Looking back on it now, I could have just skipped all that and made one CG version that just got bigger and bigger. :? Oh, well.

I was surprised no one else had put them in trees, yet.

Yeah, I doubt that. Ajax has set me up for a really big fall :lol:

Ahhhh! You're kidding! I thought I was done :P

The plan was just to take regular old glowing pumpkin photos from now on ... I'll see if I can come up with something else though. Depends on what I carve.

Glowing pumpkins ROCK! Okay i'll let you off the hook :wink: . Don't want you to hurt yourself climbing up trees or setting up photos on the middle of a busy intersection, you are the daredevil of zombie pumpkins. How many pumpkins you got left?

I've got 6 big ones. The cream of the crop. And no plans ... I want to carve Fankie Stein and Jack the knife. Other than that, I'm not sure. Maybe a VIP or two. I'll be making plans tomorrow, after my spooky tree pattern is posted.

And I have a few duffer-kins. They're too small to carve traditionally but I'm thinking I can just scrape them and set them out at my party as is. Or I might just set them out as decorations.

LOL!! WOW! Mesmark, your Lightening McQueen and Mater road trip photos are awesome!!! I looked at them several times. I guess you've just proved that the fun you have with your pumpkins is more important than how many you carve. But you've just inspired me, I may have to put my <cough> AB on my suspension kit.

Even if you are 'done', these were such fun to see. Thanks for taking the time to be creative. :D

Thanks! I decided to shave Frankie's face, because I'd like her to last until the 30th. Some of the face parts are pretty small and I was thinking she'd start looking pretty ragged in a few days. She turned out pretty good. It's a great pattern.
