There have already been some great entries which the famous pig has shared to Instagram . Crediting all the masterminds behind the Percy Pumpkins the page captioned the post; "Have you entered my #PercyUpYourPumpkin competition yet? ⬅️ Swipe to see the INCREDIBLE entries by @little_travels_7 @lisa.doran.56 @grannylanehome @emily_galt @kashmir_baker and @draperdulciex
Swiping through there's some real variety. Some entries have gone for spooky themes like vampires or a FrankenPercy with real bolts, while others have gone for more traditional Percys. We just love the pink pumpkin!
One entrant even chose to create a chef Percy and the carving is so slick and neat!
