Pumpkins with PIZZAZZ!

Decorating pumpkins is an annual traditions around Halloween time that is enjoyed by countless families. Whether you like to carve a traditional jack-o-latern face, spooky scene or other ghoulish monster in your pumpkins, I think you will love this twist on pumpkin adorning!

I always enjoy buying pumpkins to use as part of my home decor and table scape during the Fall months. I keep them out from October 1st until after Thanksgiving. I usually refrain from carving these pumpkins because doing so causes them to rot before I have had the chance to fully enjoy them. This year, rather than leave them completely plain, I decided to give them a little pizzazz.

Here’s what I came up with:

  3. That does look like so much fun and also less dangerous than carving pumpkins. Mine always look awful, I’m just not very crafty. (Unless it’s in getting my way).
