Hard Pumpkin Stencils

Hard pumpkin stencils are for carvers who want a showpiece. These designs mix cut-through openings with shaded areas where you peel away only the skin, so the pumpkin glows in two tones: bright white where the wall is open and warm amber where it is thinned. Thin bridges, fine lines, and tight curves all show up here.
