A closer look at this pattern

What to cut. What to keep.

Follow these shapes

Remove the apple body and the leaf above it as two individual shapes. Keep the slight dip at the bottom of the apple in the outline.

Leave these areas connected

Leave the band between leaf and apple intact. The upper notch opens toward that band and should not be closed by an added stem.

Fit this design to your pumpkin

Include the raised leaf when checking the total height of an 85 mm print. If the surface is too short, try the wider, flatter cloud instead.

Print width: 85–185 mm. Check the whole print against your pumpkin before transferring; this range does not guarantee the design will be easy to carve.
