Just in time for Halloween, you can make your own graveyard in a pumpkin! Using various tools and crafting items, you can design a spooky, scary backdrop.

Drop in and make something out of nothing! We provide the materials, you bring the inspiration. Fun for the whole family.

This is an ongoing challenge.

Challenge Dates: September 1- October 22
