I need to make these cute black cat o'lanterns for Halloween!

I saw these on Pinterest, they are from Sunset Magazine:

I think the hard part would be to find those very tiny mini pumpkins.

Oh, those are great!

I love Halloween, I'm ridiculously excited about the chance to dress up and decorate the house already.

Those little pumpkins look a lot like Japanese Kabocha, you can get them at Asian fruit and veg markets. They're a lot tougher than regular pumpkins, you'll need to simmer them for a few minutes before you try to  hollow them out.

Aren't they adorable?! If you make them, please show some pictures. 

Those are CUTE!  I might try my hand at that--thanks for posting the link!

Oh man... being in AZ my pumpkins would rot really fast.

Good point! Here on the Cslifornia coast, we usually don't have a problem with the heat. But our 'Indian summer' has been crazy this year, it's 92° here today! Maybe I'd better wait s week or two on the pumpkin carving! Lol
