The Nelsons used 10,000 pumpkins and squashes to make the mosaic.
A farm has become a Guinness World Record holder for a “spook-tacular” Tim Burton-inspired mosaic, made from more than 10,000 pumpkins and squashes.
Tom Nelson told the PA news agency he was “very surprised and very pleased” when he and his family found out they had become record holders. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The striking Halloween-inspired image is made up of more than 10,000 pumpkins and squashes, required meticulous planning, and took around five hours for Mr Nelson and a team of nine others to place the pumpkins and squashes in the right places. “We used Ghost pumpkins, which are white, for the moon, and Gem Rolet squash, which I think is a staple food in South Africa – and that is very dark green and in a cricket ball shape, so is very good for doing the outlines.”
"We tried different designs, but we struggled to make it work. The second top idea was The Nightmare Before Christmas and because this year marked the 30th anniversary of the Tim Burton movie, we felt it was something to celebrate.”
