Amazing Do-It-Yourself Halloween Pumpkin Design Ideas

Last week we picked a few really big Halloween pumpkins at a local farm just outside the city. 
Usually, I like doing my own designs for carved pumpkins. But this time I decided to do some research to find inspiration and to do something different.

There is a ton of websites on the web offering great tips and free patterns from spooky to elegant to funny, so you could get your Halloween pumpkins ready in no time.
