THE Welwyn Hatfield Times is calling on readers to send us photos of their Jack O’Lanterns in time for Halloween.

Editor Terry Mitchinson got in on the act to show you what we are after (and we can confirm he carved it himself) – but can you do better?

Terry’s top tips:

* Scoop out the pumpkin’s seeds

* Draw on your design

* Carefully carve your creation

* Add a tealight to really show off your artwork

(Kids ask for help with sharp knives and matches!!)

Send us a photo of you with your pumpkin and we’ll put the best ones in next week’s Welwyn Hatfield Times and on our website.

Email your photos before 3pm on Monday to whtimes@archant.co.uk
