Instead of cutting holes into the wall of the pumpkin, you can create patterns by scoring a design into the outside. Hollow out the pumpkin (see the basic Halloween pumpkin carving technique), then use a vegetable peeler to scrape away about half of the thickness of the pumpkin in your chosen design. The light from inside will shine through, giving a golden glow to your design.
You could use this technique to highlight your door number to arriving guests.

You can also use the scoring technique to carve someone's name, or a favourite phrase (as Country Living did here with the motto you find on the spine of the magazine). You might like 'Happy Halloween'.
Use a vegetable peeler to scrape away about half of the thickness of the pumpkin. Add a tealight or a candle stub, to create that golden glow.

Hollow out the pumpkin (see the basic Halloween pumpkin carving technique). Cut round holes through the wall of the pumpkin to give an all-over polka-dot pattern. Alternatively, cut out thin vertical slices.

For children who are too young to be trusted with a knife, or for locations where you can't keep an eye on the flame, painting a face or design on a pumpkin is ideal.
