Customized Pumpkin Carving Patterns from Photo’s

If you’d rather create a customized pet pumpkin carving stencil from a photo, it’s easy!  Use a clear, close-up digital photo or scan one in.  Virtually all of the photo editing software choices have an option to edit the photo into a drawing or similar look (photocopy, sketch, line drawing, etc).  If not, use the software to convert the photo to black & white or greyscale.  Resize the photo to your preferred dimensions and print.

For the safety of all, use a Pumpkin Light and skip the candles.  For more Halloween pet safety tips, please click here.
