I'm gonna side with Claude on this one - I like 'em better antiqued. But I do agree with everyone here saying they're great either way. You've done a great job on these guys!

Claude, I tried out that acrylic antique medium by Plaid. I used the Apple Butter Brown and mixed it 50/50 with water. I like it...it goes on easy and covers very well, and is easy to wipe off.

I like them better without....and my reason is they look more like real, fresh carved pumpkins with the bright orange on them, cause a real pumpkin is shiny and bright. Just my opinion....the facial expressions are wondeful..I did a couple of little "kins, but they aren't as cute as yours.

Either way is fine by me. I really have no preference. All are high in cool factor.
