Pumpkin Purse Charm!

So my hands are sore ftom tatting with Lizbeth metallic.  (Love it....we just need black...)  So to give them a rest I decided to make clunnies lol.  At least it gave my hand a chance to cramp in a different position!   The result are a couple Halloweenish motifs.  The first is the pumpkin purse charm...

A little twisted...

The famous twisted nature of the Lizbeth metallic thread has struck again!  I usually keep this ball in this pod like bag but not when tatting from it, so I have a little tangle.
