Mix together the softened cream cheese, minced onion, garlic powder, horseradish, salt and pepper and spoon into a plastic sandwich bag. Cut a small hole in the corner of the bag and carefully pipe mixture into jumbo olives.Place a cheese filled jumbo olive on to of a notched carrot slice. Align it so that the cheese is lined up with the notch. The carrot base will look like feet. Place the small olive, hole side down, over the jumbo olive. Position it so the beak, chest and feet are aligned. Gently push a toothpick through the top of head down into body and carrot base. Wrap a pimiento around neck for a scarf.
