Calling for Pumpkin Ideas - and jewelry parts giveaway

I received a craft pumpkin (those cute foam ones you can use year after year) from Michaels - it's the first time I've ever had a craft pumpkin.  And I just can't decide what to do with it!

I was sent this:

And quickly whipped up this:
But I'm undecided on what to do with the pumpkin.  You can get lots of Craft Pumpkin Ideas on the Michael's Website... here's a few... I'm leaning towards the rhinestone swirls....
What have you done with Craft Pumpkins?  I'd love to hear some ideas.
