Cute! Both the pumpkin and the Fimo Inu.

I suggest turning off the flash, setting the camera on something and using the self-timer to take a photo of the pumpkin. I can't quite tell if the darker picture had flash on or just a lot of ambient light, but eliminating the former/reducing the latter would probably help with the glowiness.

He looks really disgusted about the chunks of pumpkin on the table :).
