A closer look at this pattern

What to cut. What to keep.

Follow these shapes

Trace the pot, rim, two round bubbles and three parts of the wrapped candy. The candy sits above the left side of the pot, separate from the rim.

Leave these areas connected

Keep the white band between the rim and pot intact. Leave the gaps around both candy wrappers and between the bubbles so the small shapes stay distinct.

Fit this design to your pumpkin

This is one of the taller spooky scenes. Check the top candy wrapper and bottom feet on the printed sheet, then position the pot on the smooth front of the pumpkin.

Print width: 160–185 mm. Check the whole print against your pumpkin before transferring; this range does not guarantee the design will be easy to carve.
