18 Adorable Dog-O-Lanterns To Inspire You This October

| October 19, 2020

The leaves have changed colors and grocery stores have started putting bins full of pumpkins outside. That means it’s carving season! I don’t know about you all, but I’m ready to move past the standard jack-o-lantern face look this year. This year it’s going to be about carving a dog-o-lantern.

I found a bunch of really cool dog pumpkin carving designs from around the web. They range from simple to detailed, but one of these may just help you with your pumpkin this year. At the very least, the pictures are adorable.

1. Corgi Carving

2. A Pomeranian Pumpkin
