Creature Pumpkin Templates

With slithering snakes and buzzing birds, these creature templates are both scary and festive, and will help you create just one or a whole nest of pumpkins that look like real live critters.

These multilegged creatures rise up from the earth and skitter across cold stones.

Vulture and Cage Template

In this project, a smaller pumpkin is nested inside a larger one.
Fierce Feline Template

Trick-or-treaters will love this fierce feline, grabbing at "yarn."
Night Owl Template

This owl stands out against a night sky, complete with stars and a full moon.
Cat and Bat Templates

These pumpkins are carved by thinning the flesh so the design stands out clearly.
Crow Template

Create this pumpkin with a watchful raven to protect your home from ghouls and goblins.
