pumpkin carving
Gourd face creation
Pumpkin carving is the practice of cutting designs into pumpkins, especially jack-o'-lanterns for Halloween.
The rind is sliced open, seeds scooped out, and faces or patterns carved through the shell so candlelight glows from within: The kids are excited for pumpkin carving this weekend.
Designs range from simple triangle eyes to elaborate artistic scenes.
