Hello. The book <I>How to Play with Your Food</I> (I think that's the title), has some good examples of another interesting way of carving a pumpkin. Instead of making the stem end the top of the pumpkin, it is used as a nose for the carved face. The pumpkin is placed on its side (obviously not any old pumpkin will do), and a cut is made on the upward facing side to remove the innards. A mouth is carved below the nose and two eyes above. If there is no concern about interior lighting, you can get interesting effects by carving at different layers. If you carve halfaway into the skin, you get a creamy-orangish color that serves as an interesting contrast to the surface (nice for eyes and teeth).
Anyway, I hope this helps to give a general sense of what it's like, but the book has excellent picture examples of this (and pictures of other tricked-out vegetables like peppers, apples, etc).
Yours,
Jake
