I'm usually too lazy to put much effort into decorating pumpkins.  In years past, I just bought them and placed them as-is on my porch.  I didn't grow up carving a pumpkin each year, and never started the tradition in my own household either.  We're not crafty types around here, but this year I'm inspired to do something fun, so I've been on the hunt for ideas.

It's amazing how many different ways people have come up with to customize a simple pumpkin!  Here's a sampling of my favorites.
