Wow--ancient pottery designs translate to pumpkin carving very well! I would never have thought of that, but it works, and works well.

Now THIS is a unique pumpkin. Still a good "Halloween" concept, but not cliche in the slightest. The detailing and exact design are very impressive--it looks exactly like the famous pottery, except yours is better, 'cause it glows!
Happy Halloween!

I love it! I wouldn't have thought of doing that for a pumpkin, but I love the greek pottery & the meaning behind the images.
