Create a glowing Halloween pumpkin with this realistic skull 12-tone stencil.

Shave the lightest areas deepest, darker greys progressively less, and leave black areas uncarved. Allow plenty of time and patience. Use lino cutters and hand woodcarving chisels, with a battery-powered light inside while carving. This is shallow shaded carving, not a cut-through design.

Your ZIP includes a transparent PNG stencil image and the three-page PumpkinFreak advanced carving guide, including a tools checklist, pencil-back and transfer-paper methods, and tutorial links.

Resize or crop the PNG image to fit your pumpkin before printing. Digital download only; no physical pumpkin, printed sheets or tools included. Thumbnail is an illustrative carving mockup; finished results may vary.
