This noble pumpkin will be the talk
of your party.

1. Download the free pattern for this project. (Downloading requires Adobe Acorbat software.)

2. Enlarge and trace the pattern. Place the pattern on the pumpkin, pencil side down. Trace over the lines (they should show through the back) to transfer the pattern.
