It looks like I suck at virtual carving as well. lol I couldn't figure out how to copy it though.

I did my cat pumpkin at least a half a dozen times before I had one I was kind of happy with. At least on the computer I couldn't cut myself with the knife!<br /><br />Hayrides are fun, but the sad thing is, they are usual pulled by tractors nowadays instead of horses.
