Dia de los Muertos Skull

This decorative pumpkin skull captures the festive spirit of Dia de los Muertos - The Day of the Dead!

Bouquet of Flowers

Summer may be over, but beautiful flowers are welcome in every season.

Curves and More Curves

Undulating lines and flowing curves meet in this pumpkin to create a carving that is all about flowing shapes and gentle movement.

A Spooky Forest

This pumpkin is covered with a glowing forest for perfect viewing from all sides.

Fireflies

Fireflies may be getting hard to find, but this pumpkin captures the childhood nostalgia of chasing fireflies in the backyard.

Miniature Jack-o'-Lanterns

Light up the path to your door with these tiny Jack-o'-lanterns. A tea candle gives just enough light for a warm glow.

Web of Light

Some pumpkins carvings can only be appreciated when the sun goes down. Although this pumpkin looks simple during the day, at night it projects the glowing image of a spider web onto the wall behind it.

A Flowering Centerpiece

Not all carved pumpkins belong outdoors. A small but intricately carved pumpkin can make a perfect centerpiece. Add a candle in the center for a welcoming glow.

Fall Magic

This pumpkin carving celebrates the magic that comes with fall's cool breezes, fluttering moths and whispering grasses.

The Moon and Friends

Add this pumpkin to your front porch by using the pattern from our Pumpkin Carving Gallery.
