You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

It really depends on the shape.

If it has a nice circular shape and you have enough patience and tools... I'd go for the Death Star design!

If it's more square in shape, you might want to do a Great White Shark!

If the shape is short and squat, you can do anything from the traditional Jack-o-lantern face or try some fun new angles with incorporating the stem and using it as a nose!

Regardless of what you choose, I'm sure you'll have fun with a 58 pound pumpkin.

Happy Halloween!

If you google "pumpkin carving patterns" there are a couple sites that provide a print out diagram you can then overlay on the pumpkin for carving.

This is one of the sites I found that is free

Just make sure pencil the outline first before you start carving!

There are so many ways! I'm answering with a few links to free stencils and ideas for you - not sure if you prefer to carve out chunks or just do the stencil carving. I really like the ones with scary faces but that's just me....especially the ones with seeds coming out everywhere like pumpkin vomit hehehe

The Pumpkin Lady has insects, words, nature, you'll love the numbskull category ....over 200 free patterns
http://www.pumpkinlady.com/pattern.htm

If you have kids I loved the selection of patterns at Parents.com - they also have things to build like teddy bears out of pumpkins so if the carving doesn't work you can use the bits for something else.....there are 15 lovely little ideas here

And BandofCats.com has a cute selection of spooky cats to carve!!!! These are so sweet :)

I hope these give you some ideas !

I think I'll have to make the Wall-E next year after the death star this year, but nice answer.
