These Glowing Jack O'Lantern Silhouettes are so awesome. I thought they were hard to do but with this project, I found out that it is easy to do. I was excited to see templates of the faces and how to finish the whole project. My grandaughter will love to do this for their Halloween decor in school and at home. Thanks for the idea.
