Pumpkins can be used for so much more than lattes and pies! They’re incredibly beautiful in their uniqueness and the ways that can turn a porch from blah to beautiful.
Carving pumpkins used to be a Halloween tradition in my family. But when we carved pumpkins they would up looking a lot like this:
Not that there’s anything wrong with that pumpkin! Look how cute he is!
But long gone are the days when pumpkins like that are acceptable. We live in the age of Pinterest! The world of the internet and all of its step-by-step tutorials are at our fingertips!
The bar has been raised and the ante has been upped. Pumpkin carving is now a work of art. Each pumpkin is its own masterpiece; like sculpting marble with the inner art waiting to be set free by the sculptor.
Some where, my high school art teacher is smiling.
So, with that in mind, here are some of the truly EPIC pumpkin masterpieces that Pinterest has to offer.
There are plenty more on my Pin board, too! I just love the internet!

Thanks so much, Tara!
It is amazing to me that someone spends so much time in designing these pumpkins, like making a sand sculpture on the beach only to have it washed away. These are beautiful each one so unique, my favorite is Celtic pumpkins and all a great addition to my Friday Features Linky Party this week.
I would love to have you stop by and add other posts, if you like…..
Have a great weekend!

It’s so true! They’re so beautiful, but so temporary.
