Saguaro Cactus Silhouette Pumpkin on a Porch Step

A single saguaro cactus silhouette with a wide trunk and two short curved arms glows from this easy cactus pumpkin carving idea placed on a porch step after dark. There are no interior ribs or detail cuts, making this a great beginner pumpkin carving idea that takes under an hour. Print a saguaro outline, tape it to the pumpkin, and score around it with a poking tool before cutting along the scored line with a small saw. A tea light inside brings out the warm orange glow around the cactus shape.
