How to carve a bat pumpkin stencil
A bat is one silhouette: cut around the body in short strokes and finish the wing scallops and ear tips with a craft knife. On a bat-and-moon design, cut the moon as one large opening and leave the bat as an uncut shape inside it, attached to the moon's edge at the wingtips.
Bat pumpkins are the easiest way to scale a display: carve three or four small ones and dot them along the walk like a flock. They pair with haunted-house and moon designs.

Cut the moon through as a large circle but leave the bat shape uncut inside it. The bat must touch the moon's edge at the wingtips so it stays attached.
