Pumpkin Eating a smaller pumpkin

This isn't really a craft, but last year I carved this pumpkin and everyone who saw it loved it! This year I have been getting asked how I did it and the only thing that was different than carving the usual jack-o-latern was Making sure I made a hole that fit the smaller pumpkin and then carved around thar and that on the teeth of the big pumpkin i used a melon baller to take off the dark orange skin so the teeth were lighter.

ENJOY!
