Neat No Carve Pumpkin Ideas For Halloween

Put the knives away, you won't need them anymore. Plus, NO more gooey, icky mess to clean up.

From Yahoo.com here are a lucky 13 ideas for decorating your Halloween pumpkins this year.

In picking my top 3 favorites, I went with creativity, originality and creepiness factor.

• #3 - This one is definitely creative. And very realistic. Not so much creepy, but yummy.

• #2 - This one scores OFF the charts on the creepiness factor. Imagine all different kinds of spiders on this!

• #1 - This idea takes the award for creative, original AND a little creepy. Ever have that feeling that you're being watched?

I (Riley) painted my pumpkin a penguin. I couldn't figure out how to carve a penguin, and I'm about the least artistic person there is, so painting seemed like the best option. And I loved how it turned out! Which is rare when I make something. So much easier than carving too!

Nothing at all against the old family tradition of carving pumpkins into jack o'lanterns, but in case your family is looking for something different with a lot less clean up, consider some of these. Or even better create your original ideas.
