3 inch filled pumpkin

This is a very strait forward pumpkin that is just over 3″x3″ and coming in at 9K stitches.   There is a mesh background that stitches out first to help avoid shift in the detail of the pumpkin which this step is hidden by the pumpkin stitches.  This mesh also helps if you are stitching on some pile to further knockdown the pile before stitching the pumpkin out, but use WSS since I did not set the mesh behind the stem details.
