Electrified Pumpkin Dollhouse

This evening when I got out of work I noticed that there was to be a pumpkin carving and decorating competition at our local toy store. I've always loved carving pumpkins and I also love to paint, but if I wanted a real chance at winning I knew I needed to do more. I was discussing this with a friend when inspiration struck. I KNEW what I had to do. I needed to build a dollhouse inside a pumpkin.

I asked my husband to make my dreams come true I'd need some help from my husband. He carved the pumpkin and soldered the electrical system so that it would run on a single 9v light. He installed the doors and windows and my friend Joy and I began work on the inside scene.

Here are the results!
