A round of applause for the Pumpkinites of deviantART!

Well aren't you all wonderful and amazing PixelArtists! What an impressively resounding success this has been. You have created some top rate PixelArt here and a whole lot of fun as well.

Check it carefully, make sure I haven't missed your name or work on the list or your pumpkins before I sign off on this collab.

I counted 154 links to pumpkins on the list...I know there may be a couple extra because some were twin pumpkins on a single link.

The awesome final piece, I wonder if I should make it into a print?





Seeing we have so many pumpkins I thought I would add my very own Pumpkin Soup recipe so they don't go to waste!

Pumpkin Soup (Serves 6)

1.5Kg/3lbs pumpkin roughly chopped
1 large red onion roughly chopped
2 cloves of crushed garlic
Walnut size piece of fresh Ginger grated
1 Massel chicken stock cube
1 tsp nutmeg grated
115 grams/1/4pound butter
1 litre/2pints of water
Sour cream for garnish on top of soup

Into a large saucepans combine the onion, pumpkin, garlic, ginger, nutmeg and butter and stir it around over a medium heat until the pumpkin and onions are well coated in butter and slightly softened. Add the water and stock cube and simmer for about an hour until everything is soft. Allow to cool slightly and add to a blender or food processor and liquefy in small batches.

Reheat gently, add to soup bowls or large mugs and serve with a spoonful of sour cream on top to garnish. Crusty bread is a nice accompaniment.
