Black Cat Pumpkins

"We love this spooky and adorable black cat pumpkin project! Use different shaped pumpkins to get a variety of black kitties for your porch. There’s not much carving involved, just for cutting out the eyes. You could add a mouth or a nose if you like as well. Very few supplies are needed for this, making it a fun, quick project and a festive way to decorate your stoop. Want a tail? Find a long zucchini or cucumber and paint it black! TIP: Battery operated tea lights are safer, but you can use regular tea light candles if you prefer. "
