 *Angle cut the 'stem' so that it isn't pointed. (as shown in the photo)

*Adhere the 3 ovals together to form the pumpkin!

*Make sure that the stemmed piece is in the center & adhere the other 2 ovals BEHIND this center piece.

*Add dimensionals to the back side of the pumpkin & adhere it to the tag.
