Halloween is less than two weeks away, and although we've already carved a couple of pumpkins (I can't get enough of the seeds, man; here is my all-time favorite pumpkin seed recipe), I've been thinking about carving another (or five) as the holiday gets closer. I genuinely love plain, old school carved pumpkins with uneven triangle eyes and jagged toothless smiles because they remind me of celebrating Halloween as a child. But I'm also a fan of more creative ideas for pumpkin carving, and that's where today's 10 Great comes in. While searching for inspiration for unique jack o' lantern ideas, I came across the projects you see above. They range from beautiful to fun, intricate to simple. I'd love to do something similar to both #1 and #3 over the next couple of weeks.

  2. Roasted pumpkins seeds are, without a doubt, my favourite autumn snack and, admittedly, the only reason I bother to carve a pumpkin each year...! I have good intentions about doing a decorative one this year, but it hasn't happened so far, despite all of the gorgeous inspirations I've seen.

  7. Oh I love these! I especially love the idea of painting a gourd rather than hacking it up. I got a few add ons this year: will turn one pumpkin into a Hello Kitty and the other into Darth Vader. Thank you Target!

  9. I'm enjoying the Halloween bonanza you've been sharing lately. :-) We put a couple of pumpkins on the porch, unadorned because I'm lazy, and squirrels have been eating little bits out of them. SIGH.
