Thanks for taking the time to explain it. You definitely know your pumpkins.

Oh, I can’t believe you captured the web intact. That gives me hope to try again. Thanks for the beautiful pix & info..

Beautiful pumpkins! I love the green one.

Thanks for the info!

My last 2 guesses- Ghoul & Bogeyman. Hope the reveal will be soon!

Super Creepy!!

Thank you for the Peanuts patterns! It’s just not Halloween without Charlie Brown & the gang.

Another great idea! I have some deciding to do. I just hope it will last ; I don’t normally buy my pumpkin this early. Thanks for the suggestion.

In the past, I would take a longish pattern and cut it into 3 pieces. Then glue to the pumpkin so each piece matches the shape of the pumpkin. You are stretching the pattern by cutting it up and replacing it on the pumpkin. You’re a genius; I think I could do that. I’m going to start looking for pa...
