Read positive and negative space
A silhouette can mean cutting out the whole dark form or preserving it against a cut background. This tool marks dark shapes as proposed openings. For a ghost or cat, a whole-shape opening may be the simplest interpretation.
If you want the silhouette to remain as glowing or dark pumpkin shell instead, redraw the plan with intentional connecting bridges before any cutting.
Watch narrow details
Bat wings and star points have small inner corners. Those can be hard to transfer cleanly and may create fragile edges. Round a corner on the paper if it looks too tight at your chosen size.
The ghost has a broad body and wavy base; it can be simplified by reducing the number of waves. Do not assume a narrow detail will survive just because it looks clear on screen.
Size for the pumpkin
Hold the full-scale print against the surface and look at both sides. A tall ghost may fit where a wide bat does not. A star needs space all around its points.
Use the width control as a starting point, then confirm the height on the actual printout. Printer margins may crop a large design.
Choose a fallback
If a silhouette is too complex for the pumpkin or available tools, use the simpler Round surprise or Triangle grin. A clean simple opening often reads better than an ambitious pattern with torn details.
