Broad Autumn Leaf
A single broad maple-style leaf glows from the pumpkin's face, its rounded lobes and short stem cut fully through as one connected opening. The design leans seasonal rather than spooky, making it a lovely choice for fall porches from October through Thanksgiving. As an easy one-piece cutout, just poke transfer dots along the lobed outline, saw slowly around each curve, and push the waste piece out from inside in a single pop.
Cornucopia Pumpkin Stencil
A harvest cornucopia brimming with a small pumpkin, an apple, and assorted gourds fills this pumpkin stencil, with decorative swirling vines and leaf shapes radiating outward from the basket's opening. The woven horn body is built from curved concentric stripe cutouts, while the produce and vine scrolls are independent pierced-through elements against the solid surrounding wall. Cut the small vine scroll tips and round fruit openings before tackling the long curved stripe cuts in the horn body, as the stripe cuts pass close to each other and benefit from the surrounding wall being intact.
Sixteen-Petal Sunflower
A sixteen-petal sunflower blooms across the whole face of the pumpkin, complete with a dotted seed head, layered leaves, and a curving stem. This is a skin-shave design: you peel the skin inside every petal and leaf while leaving orange outlines and vein lines untouched, so no light shines through. Sharpen your tools before starting and shave the big petals in long strokes from base to tip for smooth, even texture.
Standing Duck with Webbed Feet
A standing duck in profile, from its rounded bill down to its webbed feet, with layered feather detail across the folded wing and breast. This is a skin-shaving pattern rather than a pierced one: the duck's body is etched to glow while the surrounding skin stays dark, and feather lines are scored deeper for texture. Shave the broad body areas first, then add the fine feather strokes last so a slip cannot erase your detail work.
Sunflower with Eleven Petals
A tall sunflower blooms across the whole pumpkin face, with eleven glowing petals radiating around a dark seed disc dotted with tiny pinprick holes, plus a straight stem and two leaves below. The petals, stem, and leaves are shaved to the flesh rather than pierced, while the seed dots are drilled through for sparkle. For this medium shading design, etch all the petal outlines first, then peel each petal evenly and finish by drilling the seed dots in a loose spiral.
Sunflower with Layered Petals
A lush sunflower filling the pumpkin face, with a densely dotted seed head ringed by two overlapping layers of pointed petals and broad leaves fanning out below. It is carved entirely as continuous-wall relief, shaving the skin at multiple depths so petals overlap realistically with no pierced openings. As an expert project, plan your levels first: deepest around the outer background, shallower between petal layers, and the seed dome nearly untouched.
Three Maple Leaves and Dots
Three maple leaves drift diagonally down the pumpkin, each one cut fully through with its stem, and small round holes scattered between them like floating seeds. The pierced leaves throw crisp, recognizable maple silhouettes of light, making this a lovely all-autumn design rather than a strictly Halloween one. Saw each leaf point from the tip inward and remove the waste in sections so the notched edges stay sharp.
Turkey Pumpkin Stencil
A plump, strutting turkey faces forward with wings spread and fan tail displayed on this expert-level animal pumpkin stencil. The design is a dense interlocking map of curved feather sections, body masses, and a detailed head with wattle, all separated by thin white bridges that must stay solid. Because so many narrow bridges cross each other, work from the outermost tail feather tips inward toward the body, removing each isolated section fully before moving to the next rather than skipping around.
