Halloween Pumpkin Contest Entry

I've always admired the complex pumpkins I've seen carved using the 3 dimensional technique of both cutting holes and removing the skin of the pumpkin to produce various lighting levels when lit from inside.

Stop by over at Leanne's Blog and take a look at all of the entries to her Pumpkin Carving Contest.

If you like my work, I'd appreciate your vote for MY entry.

Meanwhile, I'm going to start work on another pumpkin once I figure out what image I want to do..
