How to carve a boo pumpkin stencil
Cut the two O's first as rings, leaving a bridge at the top of each so the centre stays attached, then the B with bridges holding its two inner counters. Cut the letters through for a bright glow, or scrape them if the pumpkin is small. A ghost between the letters is left uncut with a scraped outline.
A boo pumpkin on the top step is the friendliest spooky greeting. Set a ghost pumpkin beside it so the boo has a source.
