My Signature Pumpkin

Since 2006, each and every Halloween, I’ve created a variation on my signature pumpkin, the question mark. I loved it the first time I carved it. I love it now. And I’ll probably keep on loving it until I have no more pumpkins to carve.

Here’s this year’s contribution to the fold:

And here’s a collage of my pumpkins from 2006 (lit and unlit when available).

Of course, I can’t forget the rest of my #gourdsquad! Here’s the full array of family pumpkins for the year:

  • The Full Family!
  • The Family in the Dark!
  • Blaise
  • Blaise Lit
  • Bea
  • Bea lit
  • Toby upside-down
  • Toby’s lit

And here’s a full-on gallery of my signature pumpkins looking backward from 2019 to 2006! Enjoy the fonts!
