Creative Pumpkin Carvings by Ray Villafane

Some creative and amazing pumpkin carvings highlighted in the Daily Beast.

"Artist Ray Villafane has garnered much acclaim for his intricate pumpkin carvings. His works of art will reportedly be on display at supermodel Heidi Klum’s Las Vegas Halloween party. Villafane’s secret is that he carves a pumpkin “like it is a piece of clay as opposed to a large vegetable.” The Daily Beast has rounded up photos of Villafane’s best pumpkin carvings in this gallery."
