The app displays in red, the areas which need better connection to the pumpkin to prevent loss of pumpkin material due to fallout. Users may choose to connect the red areas by simply drawing connections, in orange, to the outer pumpkin, or eliminate the detail by drawing connections in yellow, enlarging the lighted area. Either way, as changes are made, the red, or fallout areas disappear, as if by magic. The stencil is then ready for printing, and may be printed as solid lines, or dots, along those lines.
Users may attach the stencil directly to the pumpkins, and cut through the stencil, or as many do, use a pin or stylus to poke holes in the surface of the pumpkin along the lines or dots which were printed. Utilizing tools of their choice, the image may be cut out of the pumpkin, or scraped into the pumpkin, creating interesting areas of light projecting through openings in the pumpkin or visible through the skin of the pumpkin. Once completed, the pumpkin may be lighted with any light source to reveal the image in this new and novel medium. Happy Halloween!
