    Sorry it's such a dark photo, we had UV lights, although that kinda adds to the effect I guess! :p:

    Thank you I sketched the design on with a pen (which I later rubbed off), and then used kitchen knives, an apple corer, and even a drill to cut it out. I must admit, drilling a pumpkin is pretty scary when you have to use one hand for the drill and the other to support the piece you are trying to drill

    (YAY! I got it to upload properly!)

    How many entries are allowed? I'm doing two different costumes (one for the party I was at on Friday, one for party I'm at on Wednesday) so will I need to choose just one to enter?

    Here is some stuff I've done, I should say this is all with every day makeup, no professional stuff :P I'm the red queen in the picture of two people, I spent 2 days making the entire costume, including cutting out all those hearts! :P

    As many as you like! You can't win 2 prizes, but you can certainly maximize your chances of winning 1 by posting all of them

    This is my shocking attempt at pumpkin carving. It was my first time--I just didn't know what to expect. Oh well, here it goes:

    When you look at the large version it looks like your pumpkin needs a good nights sleep...quite a few dark bags under its eyes

    Not sure what this is meant to be, but there we go... That cracked effect was liquid latex and yes clever me didn't shave properly before I applied it. Oucho.
