Pumpkin Carving Patterns to Impress the Neighborhood

You don't have to be Michelangelo to carve an amazing pumpkin - you just need the right stencil.

When it comes to pumpkin carving, some people are born artists, and others... not so much. Seeing as how I severed my pinkie finger while carving a pumpkin in the fourth grade (true story), I fall into the latter category. But these days, anyone can be an artist thanks to stencils.

So Patch has compiled a collection of the best stencils on the web to help you impress your friends and neighbors. Also, both Vons, Target and the 99 Cents Store carry tons of pumpkin carving kits with safety knives.

Happy Halloween!
