A silhouette of a Victorian haunted mansion against a full moon, with bats circling the turrets.

Notes

This panoramic scene wraps the entire pumpkin. The key challenge is keeping the stencil perfectly taped down β€” any shift will misalign the roofline with the moon. Cut the most fragile pieces (bat wings) first so you have maximum structural support throughout.

This panoramic scene wraps around the entire pumpkin. Start with the moon cutout at the top, then work outward toward the bats and roofline.

Tips

  • Tape the stencil tightly β€” any shift ruins alignment
  • Cut bat wings first; they’re the most fragile
  • A tea light creates the best silhouette glow for this design
