Instructions1. Peel the pumpkin and round it off to the shape of a zinnia flower.2. Incise a circle to form the center of the flower and carve out the flesh to give the appearance of closed petals. 3. For the outer petals, make curved cuts tapering to a point and remove some of the flesh from around the petals so they stand out. Make the second ring in the same fashion, but positioning the petals between those of the inner ring. Continue in this way to the perimeter of the flower |
