Scary Stories

If you’re into scary stories, you don’t want to miss out on a wild tale that echoes the fear factor you’d find in a Hollywood horror flick! We’re talking about White-nose syndrome which is affecting three species of bats and spreading across North America, threatening entire populations of these creatures!

Pin or tape your template/pattern to your pumpkin.
Use an awl or pen to poke small holes along the black edge of the shape.
