Pumpkin Decorating

My work has a pumpkin decorating contest.  Me and all the girls entered a pumpkin.  Anna got a second place and Grace got third place in their age group category.

 Grace's spiderweb pumpkin.  It started to cave in on one side and the web got a bit loose.

 My mummy pumpkin.  I thought it was uber cute, however the judges didn't think so :(

Anna's caterpillar pumpkins; she called it Little Spot.  Mommy fail, I didn't get a picture of Leah's, but we gave her a Sharpie and let her have at it.

My one observation is, why does hot glue not work so well on pumpkins?
