2011 - Out Of Darkness
This is a fairly easy pattern. It still requires skill, but bang for the buck you can't beat this pattern. Be careful not to let the teeth touch and your golden. The somewhat random edges make it possible to goof a bit and still end up with a great looking pumpkin. This pattern is a bit forgiving and a great first pattern when stepping up from triangle eyes. Just be sure to use tools like those from Pumpkin Masters.
The dragon patterns get the most downloads and the strongest
reactions from the kids, so I went to Google Images and typed "Dragon"
and looked at a ton of images. There are so many choices, but every
one was either going to be too difficult or be just another dragon.
Then I ran across one that was a direct, straight on face and while
far too detailed for a pumpkin pattern, I had an idea. What if I just
took the face, forget all the "dragon" parts and made something a bit
different and unique? I focused on "Dragon", "Textured Face", "Scary
Clown", "Creepy" and "Snake". From the original picture and a touch of
my own design, I created "Out of Darkness". I hope you like it.
