A black-and-white pumpkin stencil of a sitting cat in front of a large round moon, made for Halloween carving in a bold, minimal style. The white cat silhouette has pointed ears, oval black eyes and a curled tail against a solid black circle with thin white gaps. There is no text, so you can swap the cat for a name, a house number or a short greeting to carve your own version.

Create a single medium-difficulty pumpkin-carving stencil on a pure white, portrait 3:4 page. Use only solid pure black and pure white: no gray, shading, gradients, outlines-only marks, texture, or lettering. Center one bold, readable design with generous white margins: a seated black-cat silhouette in front of a large full moon. Stencil convention: black is material to cut away; white is rind to retain. Form the cat and moon as clear white retained shapes, their silhouettes defined by broad black cutout areas. Join each retained white shape to the surrounding white page with several stout bridges, at least 5% of the design width; no detached white islands. Place two large, simple black eye cutouts on the cat’s face, each connected to the surrounding black cutaway by a short, broad channel. Keep the cat’s pointed ears, upright posture, curved tail, and moon’s round edge unmistakable at a glance. Use a few broad cut shapes only for facial separation and moon edge definition; avoid tiny marks and fragile bridges. Flat graphic stencil artwork, crisp hard edges, balanced centered silhouette, ample white breathing room. No drawn pumpkin, no scene, no frame, no extra motifs, no additional text.
