The pumpkin I received is beautiful, just not really what I had been expecting. I was definitely expecting there to be more of the opaque color in the pumpkin. I understand every pumpkin is unique and handcrafted, this one just fell short, being of the cherry blossom design, to me. But it's okay, because it's still beautiful and I did order more, and I am sure they will be even more beautiful and closer to the reference photos.
