Special Instructions for the moon scene:
- first, cut the darker shaded portion out and clean the lines completely *before* moving to the next step;
- then, shave the outer ring so that a faint light gets through and so that the moon's craters are framed by the glowing ring of "moonlight" that is still attached to the pumpkin.
