Unfortunately, in this area we have nothing I could use to demonstrate this fabulous piece of engineering, not even a melon, but I have got one and as soon as a suitable pumpkin substitute is available, I will be using for sure.gourd or pumpkin inspired.

So instead of upcycling a pumpkin, I upcycled a paper bag.
The centre piece is an image from Rick St Dennis, Pumpkin Head.
I know he's from last year's collection drawn by Rick St Dennis, but he fitted so well into my theme. I think my promarkers loved him.
For the rest of the bag, my cricut came in handy. Both the DP base (My Mind's Eye, Halloween Sparkles) and the letters were cut using the Happy Hauntings cart. Mounted onto a pearlised black paper base. A little wooden skull and crossed bones from stash.
Your turn peeps, show us your gourd!! While you're pondering, have a look at all the other wondrous pieces my fellow minions produced. You'll find them all at Haunted Design House.
Check back in a couple of days time for more of my pumpkin related makes.
