I love pumpkins!!  For my project I created toppers for treat bags for my son's class for his Birthday which is on Halloween!

I used the Mini monsters Cricut cartridge, orange paper, green paper, black paper, google eyes, and a white souffle pen from sakura & my favorite adhesive and glue dots.


I cut the pumpkin and the mouth and leaf topper at 2 1/2".  I then used the Souffle pen to color in the the teeth.  I could have used white cardstock, but I really have a hard time with little pieces so I thought I would give this a try.  When coloring in the teeth the white was light at first but as it dried it turned out great!! Just what I wanted!!


Next I glued everything down.  I decided to use the Souffle pen to color in the white part of the outside of one of the eyes too because I didn't want to cut it out of cardstock.  I was not disappointed in this either!!


Here are the finished pumpkins! I love how they turned out! Now to buy more candy! My family ate all the candy I bought for the treat bags! You would think I would learn this lesson because it happens every year!  Hope you liked my project! Thanks for coming by and please hop on! There are a lot more great projects!  ~ Christina~
