I was spending a date night with my husband at Barnes & Noble and sifted through the most recent issue of Martha Stewart Living. There was a cute section on carving pumpkins with a link listed from her website with 50 pumpkin carving templates. So, of course I went hunting on her website and found some other really great ideas (click on the links for step-by-step instructions) that I thought you might like. {all images below are from marthastewart.com}
