Halloween pumpkin carving templates – incredible pumpkin sculptures

 Carve sculptures and tricks out of pumpkins for Halloween

The massive pumpkin sculpture at the Bronx Zoo is designed and carved by Pumpkin Sculpt USA to bring public attention to the organization 96 Elephants. Every day 96 African elephants are shot down for their ivory and the aim is to support the legislation and to save and protect them.

The pumpkin carving templates are ephemeral art associated with charity.
