    These are a cool twist on the jack-o-lantern. Are these less likely to be destroyed by squirrels (which always seems to be the fate of my jack-o-lanterns)?

    I really like them all, but the spider is my favorites. Are those rhinestones? Very creative. I see there is a glass of wine on the supply table, I'm sure you used this for decorative purposes only.

    I really like how you painted the pumpkins instead of cutting them. Very creative :)

    I will be very protective of my pumkins, bringing them in at night, etc. I have not yet had the squirrel problem, yikes!

    Yes, the spider is a solid piece with sticky backing from Micheals. I super glued it on for security. I only paid $2.99 for it, half off! My doctor said to have one glass of red wine a day for health purposes ;-)

    Gorgeous - the spider is my favorite! And I love any craft you can do over a glass of wine!
