Dragon Pumpkin Decoration - finished dragon from the frontI was able to create this fun dragon pumpkin using a green plastic pumpkin I bought last year for 90% off after Halloween sale.

This project cost me only .30 cents (pumpkin) plus materials I already had at home - cardstock paper, glue, googly eyes, beads, and tape. You can make fun animals/reptiles using a pumpkin as well!
