Just a quick suggestion for those that are working on this tonight....leave some extra space between each letter and also some extra space between the letters and the silhouette....After a few days the pumpkin was in bad shape.....wilted and flimsy....try to leave some "structural rigidity" lol

Funny, I saw the decorator/baker magazines at the store with Halloween themes, and started thinking about this!

Hey guys I was just told about these foam (or something like that?) carveable pumpkins you can get in craft stores. That way your work of art would not rot away & you can keep it forever. I think you can put a little electric or teal light or something in it to get it to light up

hey, that foam stuff can be flammable... stick to small LED lights, or if you want to use a TEA light cut holes for ventilation
