For some reason carving pumpkins was always really hard for me.. so when I started to paint them.. I went nuts.

Thanks! I'll use most any type of of craft paint, but Ceramcoat is the most reliable IMO. I don't fret if I buy a paint (on sale) I don't care for... I'll just use it up as a base coat on something. Some of my ceramcoat paints are 12-15 yrs old, and as long as you clean their top before sealing they stay pretty darn good. A couple I had to put some water in, but I was very pleased that some of my oldest colors still had some life left in them.
ANYONE CAN PAINT PUMPKINS... just start with basic shapes.
I did post another link with my final 3 painted pumpkins on it. I finished them up over the weekend.
Here they are - http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-160992-1.htm
Enjoy!!
