How to carve a cool pumpkin stencil

Graphic designs live or die on clean edges. Use a fine-tooth saw for long straight cuts and a craft knife to square off corners. Keep the blade vertical so every edge is crisp, and smooth any fuzz with the flat of the knife before lighting.

Cool pumpkins suit a modern porch: one big pumpkin, one bold design, one white light. Skip the cobwebs and let the silhouette do the talking.

Questions

What counts as a cool pumpkin stencil?+
