Catty pumpkin

After a very very full working week, we finally found the time to express our creativity and decorate the house for Halloween. It happened that we found a very nice pumpkin the other day at the grocery store, and we bought it with the idea to carve it the same evening. It didn't happen, we were so tired, and we also had an indecision about what to design on the pumpkin this year. The next day Ely grabbed some of her "Living" Magazines and started to look through in search of an idea that would have been different from the same jack-o-lantern spooky face that every year we end to carve into the pumpkin...and she proposed to carve the pumpkin like a haunted little house with windows and doors, and maybe some paper flying bats and witches attached on it. Even that evening we went to sleep without any carved pumpkins and any taken decisions for its design.

Finally today I remembered to have stored in the garage a box full of Halloween decorations and also a full kit with carving blades and patterns for halloween pumpkin design that a friend of mine sent me from the USA some years ago. Among the different patterns, we found a very nice not-so-spooky catty face and we suddenly decided how we wanted to carve the pumpkin this year. (Rufy is ruling this house and our minds, I think!)

Anyway, after a couple of full hours of work, this is what it came out...I love our Halloween pumpkin this year!!!!

How did you design your pumpkin this year?
Happy Halloween everybody!
