Carving an elaborate design into a pumpkin always seems like a good idea at the time.
"What could possibly go wrong with this representation of the Disney magic kingdom?" you think.
Then, as soon as that carving tool touches the pencil etching, it is made abundantly clear: everything could go wrong.
Even for jack-o'-lantern-aficionados, there is no guarantee that their pumpkins will be safe from voracious squirrels (as one Instagrammer learned the hard way).
Let these pictures be a cautionary tale, and maybe downgrade to that classic geometric jack-o'-lantern if pumpkin carving doesn't fit into your skill set?
