It is raining to beat the band here in Connecticut, which makes this an ideal day for pumpkin carving! With the plethora of free pumpkin carving patterns available, the Internet makes it easy to carve a creative gourd this year. I’ve already carved two pumpkins from my own collection of free pumpkin designs this season: the girl pumpkin at left and this beret-wearing artist pumpkin.

If you carve a cool pumpkin this year… Submit a photo, and I’ll add it to my New England Pumpkin Carving Gallery.
