Those are adorable. I can even see them carved as pumpkins with hats. Cute idea and well done.

Marci I forgot to tell the size, They are 7"x6". I think they might be a little heavy for a pin. lol. Also Marci I don't do small pieces, I kinda got use to my fingers. Thanks for your kind comments. Merle
