Well any way, the question was what's inside your pumpkin. I suppose the inside of yours if full of seeds and pumpkin goop. Mine has something a little different inside.
Yes, that toilet paper is the inside of my pumpkin. What? You have doubts? Oh ye of little faith. I saw this on Pinterest and had to give it a try.
Here's how it turned out.
The tutorial for the pumpkin can be found at Sarah Dawn Designs. I added a few little embellishments to mine with the leaves, berries and spanish moss. I probably should have wrapped it a little bit more because you can still see through to the toilet paper in spots but it's not that noticeable unless you're looking for it. Let me tell you this involves A LOT of wrapping but I think it's well worth it.
Since I haven't turned anything into a painting recently I did some playing around with the picture.
So there you have it. Now you know what I was doing with the toilet paper.

Okay, I'm back. Yes, for the 2nd time today. While out walking on one of our birdin' outings today I was trying to tell Bud about this 'pumpkin' --- 'cause I picked up a piece of wood out on the trail - had to explain my motives y'know!!!
Anyway, had to drop back here and show him. Now if I can just find him and call him in here to see it....
Have you thought about giving it a coat of paint? Just a thought.
Hahaha ~ I love it! Oh yes, I guess there is not hurrying to get that toilet paper out. Ha! What a fun craft Ann. Good job!
