Pumpkin Carving

Postby GR-8 » Sun Oct 14, 2012 9:14

I have 4 pretty large pumpkins I got from Sam's Club. I need some good ideas of something to carve into them. Does not need to be Mazda or Rotary oriented. Even though I thought about carving a rotor/housing. I should also mention that one of the pumpkins is going to be for a toddler. So any ideas on that would be welcome to.

For a toddler, I would do a standard jack-o-lantern design. Since you are tech oriented, you might check into lighting it up with a color change LED set hooked to a battery pack...though that may end up getting stolen in today's society...
