Black-and-white pumpkin stencil design: left a stitched rag doll, right a skull-faced gentleman in pinstripes with a bat wing.

High-contrast black-and-white stencil design for pumpkin etching, half-and-half composition: left side a stitched rag doll with flowing hair and patchwork clothing, right side a skull-faced gentleman in a pinstripe jacket with curled coat-tail/bat-wing shapes. Preserve the original silhouettes so characters remain recognizable. Make lines bold and continuous with carving-friendly bridges — include both full cut-through areas and etched (surface-scrape) regions for depth. Add fine etched texture to hair, stitches, and clothing folds using halftone-like engraving shading (thin parallel lines and stippling), not photorealistic shading. Keep all shapes connected so no element falls out when cut. Composition optimized for backlighting: white = full cut (let light fully glow), light-gray = etched (soft glow through flesh), black = keep skin (no light). Output a clean 1-bit black-and-white PNG with transparent background, 3000×3000px, centered, minimal background noise. See more
