There's nothing like carving a pumpkin to get in a bewitching mood. Glowing orbs with frightening or funny faces are the eye candy of Halloween. Never done it, or want to try something new? Free designs, or stencils, are available at a number of Web sites, along with a cauldron of other useful information. You can subscribe to some sites to get access to hundreds more designs. Here are sites we liked: -- www.bhg.com/holidays/halloween/pumpkin-carving Includes 38 printable stencils, plus a dozen dog breed stencils, and more. We had a lot of fun with the virtual Carve-a-Pumpkin feature on the site. There's three ways to carve: Freehand, where you guide the carving knife with a mouse; straight lines; or click, drag and drop pre-formed shapes for eyes, nose and mouth. When you've finished your masterpiece, you can send it as an e-card or print it out. -- http://familyfun.go.com Twelve free patterns, including a pumpkin pirate and a ghoulish ghost.
