This year instead of carving the typical jack-o-lantern face, I went for something new!
I found a medium sized white pumpkin and carved a leaf patter into it.
I picked up a leaf I found in our yard that was mostly in tact and traced it onto the pumpkin.
Next I took the pumpkin carving tools and just carved in about 1/4 of an inch. I followed the pattern and tried to make a few deeper carve in the areas of the leaf veins.

When I put the candle inside it glowed this beautiful reddish orange!
The color gets brighter as you carve deeper into the pumpkin but be careful not to break through!
I loved the way it turned out. :)
