12 Inspirational Pumpkin Carvings

"I drew my design on tracing paper, then transferred it by taping the paper to the pumpkin and pricking along the lines with a pin," LaRochelle says of this carving. He used a linoleum cutter to scrape away the outside flesh and lit the piece with several large white Christmas bulbs tucked inside. It took about 3 hours to create.
