Pumpkin Rorschach test

Can you really tell a lot about a person by how they carve their Halloween pumpkins? Is it a sort of Rorschach test of the person's personality?

Sarah has a nice home scene depicted, a cat in the window, a smiling jack-o-lantern, reinforcing Sarah's love of home and family.


Racheal's excitement over the upcoming movie 'Twilight' comes through onto her pumpkin, which actually is appropriate, given the movie is about vampires. No conventional jack-o-lantern face for Racheal, she likes to be different and unique.

Melissa picked out the warty pumpkin, but has given it the delicious face of her favorite - M&Ms, perhaps subconsciously making the statement that chocolate can in fact fix anything?

Madison is just glad to be here, her pumpkin has big round innocent eyes and a big smile, just like her!

And I love this picture that made the rounds via e-mail a while back, the caption speaks for itself - How do you know when a pumpkin has had too much to drink?
