I spent about 5-6 hours making 28 pumpkins. I used the template in the how to below (thanks Wee Folk Art!) and ended up using a 5" diameter circle to get the size I wanted. I actually used a clean small margarine lid to do the tracing so it would be quick. The how-to is excellent. I then put three at each person's place to hold up the card with their name on it. Everyone really enjoyed them and now we can use them every year unlike the mini gourds we usually buy at the grocer.
