Inspired by Jill's first pumpkin carving in 2020, I decided to add this one to my list.

I've only ever done pumpkin carving once before, so I felt I was a little ambitious with my design, BUT I am actually stoked with how it turned out!


On the 101 Adventures List, No. 72. is supposed to be 'For a whole day reply with "Dangerously well" when people ask 'How are you?". This is a personal one for Anna in memory of her Dad Marto, who she sadly lost on Halloween last year. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Anna's Dad, but I included a little nod to him on the other side of my pumpkin.




The African-inspired pumpkin carving ideas are creative and full of cultural character. I especially like how traditional inspiration can make Halloween decorations feel more unique. Pairing these artistic pumpkins with stylish outfits can also bring a fresh touch to Halloween Fashion 2026, making the celebration more expressive and memorable.
The African-inspired pumpkin carving feels so touching and full of autumn emotion. It reminds me how pumpkins can bring warmth and creativity to Halloween, even through fashion pieces like jack o' lantern jackets that carry the same spooky seasonal spirit.
