HAUNTED HOUSE
Carving pumpkins is so much fun. Each fall each of us pick out our own pumpkin to carve at the local pumpkin patch. Sometimes I choose a elongated one cover with "warts", other times I pick a perfectly round pumpkin. No matter the shape, the jack o'lantern always looks fantastic when lit on the front porch.

I have been using templates and stencils to help me carve my pumpkins for many years. Most of them come in books or kits that I purchased at Halloween stores. Each year I store the remaining templates that were not used for the following years. Using online templates saves me money and storage space.

I am so excited to find a new site called Orange and Black Pumpkins. This site is an online pumpkin pattern database that features over 75 original designs for FREE. You can download and print any and every pattern on this site free of charge. They will even display your jack o'lanterns in their Gallery.

Navigating through Orange and Black Pumpkins is very easy. Pumpkin design categories include Movie Villains, Super Heroes, Kid Favorites, Holiday Classics, and more. I displayed a few of my family's favorite templates throughout this post, all from different categories.
Templates are perfect way for children to assist with pumpkin carving. Orangeandblackpumpkins.com frequently adds new templates. So make sure that you visit Orange and Black Pumpkins's website and follow them on Facebook and Twitter so you don't miss out.
