How to carve a scared pumpkin stencil
Cut the eyes as large round openings with a small uncut pupil in each, attached at the top, so the eyes look wide and staring. The mouth is a tall oval; cut it last. Brows are thin arcs high on the forehead, cut with a knife. A few scraped lines beside the mouth suggest a wobbling chin.
A scared pumpkin cowering beside a monster pumpkin tells a little story on the step. It is one of the best pairings in the library.
