Pumpkin Displays
Some fresh ideas on displaying pumpkins may be as easy as looking in your back yard. Not exactly keen on getting rid of that bale of hay after the fall season? Try using your birdbath as a perch. Using a bed of dried limbs and leaves can make a colorful base for your pumpkin sculpture. Corn stalks cut to size can be tied around the base for an even a more festive look.Changing out the pumpkin with a wooden bucket of gourds can take you into the Thanksgiving season. Spotlights aren't just for Christmas anymore. A small sized spotlight with an amber bulb can add a warm and inviting effect to your home. Spotlighting your door with a beautiful fall wreath will surely get noticed.
Pumpkin Carvings
Instead of carving your pumpkin on the front, try cutting the eyes and mouth around the stem. Your pumpkin will appear to have a goulish nose and the ribs of the pumpkin make for great fasial contortions. Cut a hole in the BOTTOM of the pumpkin for your light and lay the pumpkin on it's side for display. Using those greenish-black pumpkins to carve witches and crows can make for a chilling display. A grouping of pumpkins in black give make a chilling effect.
