Mini pumpkin + 20 minutes = ?

[MKSquared]

You've got 20 minute to transform a mini pumpkin into whatever you'd like to create.

What would you create? What materials would you use?

I could use some brainstorming help.

Here are some cute ideas:

(I'd paint instead of carve in the interest of saving time)

I'd cover the whole thing with glue, then sprinkle on the ultra-fine black or orange glitter. Or you could do glue stripes / sections - cover those with one color, then glue the alternate sections and cover with the other color (or make pumpkin faces iwth the same technique).

Spider was the first thing that popped into my mind - find sturdy pipe cleaners or pieces of metal for the legs, draw or paint the face on the pumpkin and voila!

I like Leightx's idea and it was the first one to pop into my mind, too. Glitter pumpkins like I've seen from Martha. Maybe you could get white pumpkins and mini-gourds as well and transform those, too

I've got my two ideas for this afternoon's contest ... I'll let you know how I fared and what my final decision was.
