Janell,
In composer mode select the pumpkin head, then use the "Create Sprite Base Head" function from the "Create Head" drop down and it will convert that image to a sprite head with all the facial features (eye mouth, brow, etc.).
Then use the sprite editor to add in the sprites.

Jeff

Edit: Added video test



Get my Plugin Manager and TaskNotes plugins for iClone.

Hey Vidi....I am doing a Human test of the Bone Template Next.  I can post a video of how I'm assembling it once it's finished.
