The six detailed scenes use 170–185 mm paper widths, depending on the design. Their extra openings, narrow gaps and repeated corners need more planning. The other nine patterns provide smaller steps in detail; their original difficulty labels stay visible.

Open gaps between roofs and walls keep the village interiors attached to the shell. The castle also separates its tower tops from the lower walls. Keep those openings intact; the doorway shapes are cut away with the lower walls.
The web uses separated arcs so its light spaces can connect outward. The owl keeps its face attached through the opening between its ear tufts. Follow those breaks exactly when transferring; they are part of the structure.
The cat scene has three cut-outs, the googly face has open eye bands, and the stitched smile uses separate mouth pieces. Compare their own detail notes before moving on to a scene with many small shapes.

Connected light areas are only one design check. Real results also depend on shell thickness, curves, tools and print size. These designs have not been test-carved on pumpkins. Check the actual-size print and keep every connecting strip shown on the template.
Pumpkin previews are illustrations. Check the printed pattern against your pumpkin before carving.
