An Elegant Pumpkin!

After cleaning out the interior of a pumpkin, you can use drill bits of different sizes to make dots and circles, arranging them in festive designs all over the pumpkins (abstract patterns, bunches of grapes, faces, etc.).Consider using carved pumpkins or gourds as autumn centerpieces on your holiday table. Add candles and the beauty is apparent! :)

You can also glue leaves to the top of the pumpkin. Michael's sells "foamy" pumpkins you can carve and use YEAR after YEAR. I recommend getting two to start out with, and then you can add one a year. Saves money and eventually you'll have them everywhere. (Might also wait until one of those great 50% off coupons!) Then you could buy one and get one half off. :)
