Sadly, I didn't get a picture right after carving, and the weather got to my pumpkins. I used the Stephanie Perkins series template and lost most of the detailing on the rose. My Count von Count lost his entire face and is not pictured. :( But I had a lot of fun, and that's what counts! https://pumpkinsyah.shutterfly.com/

I did this -- and bled for it -- not even knowing there was a giveaway! Get ready to send me Twizzlers! :) http://mfantaliswrites.wordpress.com/2013/10/31/the-tale-of-my-pumpkin/
