If you are talking about the same stencil that I have come across you are suppose to scrape off the dark orange in some places rather than cut it out. I looked at it too wondering how in the heck you do it and once I took a closer look at it, some parts are just suppose to be lighter orange than the outside of the pumpkin rather than cut it out. Hope that makes sense. Good luck. I think I might try, but not sure yet
