Picked up a couple pumpkins last night and thought I would try something different

It's been a long time since I've tried carving pumpkins. I wanted to add the . com but I am no where near artistic enough to do that so I just went with the this

Then I tried to do the cherokee grill and Headlights. It didn't come out as well as planned but oh well. I tired to keep the slots even but after the first couple I just gave up. There are seven slots though

Here's the two together

Found this little thing at CVS store. It flickers like a real candle

Hmm... giving me some ideas. I live in the country though so it would all really just be for my amusement.

That's about the only reason I do anything is that it amuses me lol

I was thinking to day though, I could use my Dremel and put the small drill heads on it then make a series of holes drilled into the pumpkins like a dot to dot, then I could just cut from one hole to another with a series of small cuts... Okay, think I might be picking up some more pumpkins Thursday (payday)

Yes sir... I may have to find a good image of the logo and make a template though...
