That’s art right there. I love this and I wish I celebrated Halloween so that I can try, and fail, to carve a pumpkin like this.

These are all so fun and unique! I love the vine and leaf pumpkin but I have no idea how to pull that off, lol. The constellation pumpkins are really cool and more practical. Thanks for sharing!
