I know this is short notice but oh well. You have until 11:59 PM Halloween night to submit.

Whoever has the best pumpkin wins a free windshield banner.

Found this pic, thought it was cool, this is NOT my pumpkin.



*Notice I threw the word "Decorating" in there. If you can paint better than you can carve, paint one up and post the pics!**

Lol i would have loved to have done something more cool/complicated, but my girlfriend really wanted to do "Bugaboo" (it was one that came with the little scoop jank) I know it sucks but i just fnished an hour ago so im still kind of proud. [img][/img] I want to name my kid Halloween, except lazy a** people would call him Hall for short and that's not cool.

I just carved one last night, I'll have to get a picture soon.

My girlfriend almost carved the same one that Troublebound did. I think we had one of the same template books you do.

The one in the picture is just a picture I found. It doesn't count. Go ahead and do one.

Does photoshoping a pumpkin count?

Or do you have to have a notarized witness statement for the sticker?

Either way I will see what I can come up with.

Post a hand written note with your username, with the pic of your pumpkin. Otherwise I wouldn't buy it.

I love it, the pumpkin on the far right is so OG. Every one's first pumpkin looks similar, and I can appreciate the cleanness of the pumpkin. Every one now a days needs to be different and add crazy eyes and teeth, but that one is pure. What a carved pumpkin should be...

My vote is Tito's pumpkin on the right:http://i180.photobucket.com/al...0.jpg

It does have sort of a plain happiness to it. Looks so proud and happy to be a pumpkin =) He beat all the other fools at the patch. Its content and jolly.

Lol RCA's was pretty funny too. And creepy. You did a good dob on it though i've never seen that not-cut-all-the-way-through style its freakish looking.

I know this is a couple days old, but I never got around to posting mine because I carved it on Halloween morning.

Tonari no Totoro!





I should've gotten a wider/flatter pumpkin, but I had to make do with what I got.
