The cloud, heart and crescent use one opening. The acorn and mushroom use two; the small faces use three. The sunrise adds five bold pieces. Compare the full outline and the spaces between shapes rather than choosing by the opening count alone.
Two generous round eyes and one short crescent smile, with no nose or teeth.

These three faces leave out noses and teeth so the eyes and mouth can stay broad. Choose round eyes, traditional triangles or a thick diagonal wink; each has three separate openings.

The cloud and fish are wide and shallow, while the crescent is taller than it is wide. Measure the smooth front area, print at 100% and hold the whole template against it before transferring.
The acorn separates cap and nut; the mushroom separates cap and stem; the tulip separates flower and leafy stem. Keep those light bands intact instead of tracing a single outline around the complete motif.
No single print width fits every pumpkin. The 75–95 mm starting sizes are paper-layout suggestions and have not been physically test-carved. Mini pumpkins can have very little smooth space; enlarge the print when needed, choose a simpler motif, or use the silhouette for tracing and painting instead.
Pumpkin previews are illustrations. Check the printed pattern against your pumpkin before carving.
