Using Dry-Erase Markers For Designing

I really want to do a pumpkin with a multiple flame design. This isn't one that i would make a pattern for because the flames will have to go all the way around the pumpkin. Also, the flames will depend upon the size of the pumkin I am going to use.

Instead of working with a pattern, I am working with some dry erase markers. That way, if I don't like what I have put together I can wipe them off. Don't let them sit on the pumpkin too long because after an hour or so, they are hard to remove.

Here is a photo of my first cut at it. I will have to look at a few more hot rods to see how they do it best.
