Pumpkin Laser Cut SVG Designs: Signs, Stacks and Cutouts
The pumpkin is the one autumn shape that works from September to the end of November. Put a ghost on the door in September and it looks early; put a pumpkin there and it just looks like autumn. That is why it is worth having several — one for the door, one that stands, one for the wall.
Below are fifteen pumpkin laser cut designs, one at a time: what each piece is, how it is built, and where it belongs. Some are single files, some come inside a bundle, and that is noted where it applies.
Pumpkin-shaped door signs
The outline does the work here. Cut the board itself as a pumpkin and you do not need a single spooky element for the sign to read as autumn.
Two Pumpkin Board Signs
Two boards from the same bundle, cut to the same pumpkin outline: faux plank lines across the face, a scalloped bottom edge that reads as ribs, a curling stem with raffia and leaves tucked behind it. The lettering is a separate layer on both, so it stands proud and throws a real shadow.
“Hello Pumpkin” is the louder one — orange body, white script over raised brown capitals, a green wooden leaf beside the stem. It goes up in September and never looks early.
“Home Sweet Home” is the quiet half: cream board, sage green capitals, brown script between them and a small heart in place of the first O. Sage and cream read as farmhouse rather than Halloween, so this one can hang by the door all year and only the raffia needs swapping.
The fall wall signs bundle has ten designs; two of them are shown here. Files: SVG, DXF, EPS, PDF, JPEG, PNG.
Pumpkin Patch Yard Arrow
An arrow board in a purple frame reading “PUMPKIN PATCH”, with three jack-o’-lanterns sitting along the top — a tall grinning one in the middle, a stitched-mouth one on the left, a classic carved one on the right — and a small plank underneath carrying “BOO!” in white letters. It mounts on a stake.
The three faces are all different, which is what saves it from looking like clip art. Put it at the top of a path or beside the steps, where it points at something.
The directional signs bundle has ten designs; this is one of them. Files: SVG, DXF, EPS, PDF, JPEG, PNG.
Openwork pumpkins with a scene inside
These are cut clean through: the pumpkin is the frame, and the picture lives in the gaps. What is behind them matters as much as the cut itself.
Cat in a Pumpkin Frame
A long-haired cat sits square in the middle of a pumpkin silhouette, tail curled around its paws, with wild grasses and small flowers cut along the bottom and five bats crossing the space above its head. The pumpkin ribs run behind everything and hold the composition together.
The detail level is the highest in this list — fine grass blades, individual bat wings, the fur along the cat’s chest. Cut it from good plywood in one pass and hang it where a lamp or a pale wall sits behind it.

Haunted House in a Pumpkin
The same idea, opposite mood. Inside the pumpkin outline stands a tall haunted house with a spire, arched windows and a lit doorway, grass tufts along the bottom, and five bats spreading out under the top curve. A loop is cut into the stem so it hangs without extra hardware.
Because the house is a solid mass and the sky around it is empty, this one reads from much further away than the cat. It is the door piece of the two.

Black Cat and Bats Pumpkin
A cat sits in the centre with its whiskers cut as fine lines, grass under its paws, and six bats scattered between the pumpkin’s ribs. The stem curls over at the top with three engraved lines in it.
Simpler than the first cat and easier to cut — fewer thin bridges, no tiny flowers — which makes it the safer choice for softer plywood or a first attempt at an openwork round.

Witch Hat Jack-o-Lantern Round
A round panel cut almost entirely away: a big jack-o’-lantern face fills the middle wearing a wide witch hat with a buckled band, two bats fly in from the sides, bare branches reach in from both edges and grass tufts run along the bottom.
The face is the strongest of any pumpkin in this list — angled brows, a jagged grin, eyes cut as sharp wedges — and because everything else is negative space, it reads as a silhouette from the far end of a path. This is the one for the front door on the night itself.
Pumpkin stacks
Four designs from one bundle, all the same silhouette — three pumpkins stacked with a curling stem on top — and all completely different in what fills them. Cut two in different colours and they read as a set rather than a repeat.
The Pumpkin Stack Set
All four are built the same way: an outer body with a cut overlay on top carrying the whole pattern, so the design reads clearly from across a room instead of disappearing into the grain. They stand on their own bottom edge, no base needed.
The jack-o’-lantern version is the Halloween one — slanted eyes and a jagged grin on the top pumpkin, oak leaves on the middle, tiny pumpkin outlines scattered over the bottom. It is the only one of the four that says October out loud.
The leaf version drops the face entirely: oak and maple leaves on the upper two, a fine leafy vine climbing the bottom one, cut dark over pale wood. This is the one to cut if you want the stack out from September.
The sunflower version is the loudest — orange body, three yellow sunflowers of different sizes overlapping the ribs, one whole and two cropped by the edges. It suits a porch step where it competes with real pumpkins.
The mint version is the surprise. Soft green with cream flowering stems, no orange anywhere, no reference to Halloween at all. On a shelf in a pale room it passes for spring decor, which is exactly why it stays out longest.

Thankful Grateful Blessed Stack
The same three-pumpkin silhouette, but carrying words instead of a pattern: thankful across a teal top, grateful across a cream middle, blessed across an orange bottom, each in a looping script that trails off into a curl at both ends. A spray of leaves and one orange flower sits over the seam between the middle and bottom pumpkin, and a wooden stem with a single leaf finishes the top.
The lettering is its own layer sitting proud of the pumpkin body rather than engraved into it. That is what makes it readable from the far end of a hallway: raised script throws a shadow line under every letter, where engraving would flatten out at that distance. The script is also the only fragile part of the file — long thin tails on both ends of each word, which is what decides the thickness you cut it from.
It hangs from a rope loop instead of standing on its own edge, so this is the door piece of the group. Nothing on it refers to Halloween, which is the point: it goes up when the first cold week arrives and stays until the end of November.

Pumpkins that stand
Two Pumpkin Cottages
Two cottages built into a pumpkin, and each photograph shows the same piece twice — the assembled cut in plain plywood on the top shelf, the finished version below. That comparison is the useful part of both listings, so look at the top halves first: everything that makes these read as buildings is already there before any colour goes on.
The first cottage puts a whole second house on the pumpkin’s shoulder. The body is a pumpkin with its ribs engraved and stem tendrils curling off above the roofline; to the right sits a gabled extension with scalloped shingles, its own dormer window and a lean-to porch below, and a spider web cut into the corner where the two roofs meet. The front door is arched with a carved surround and a round pane; two arched windows sit either side on ledges. Leaves and small pumpkins bank up around the base.
The second is squatter and softer: a rounded pumpkin body under a long thatched roof cut in overlapping strands, a brick chimney pushing through it, a round window in the gable and two more round windows below with flower boxes under each. An oval plank door with a square-paned window, two carriage lanterns either side, and a white picket fence running across the front with a pumpkin at each end.
The part worth copying is under both of them. Neither stands on a slot-in base — each sits on a stacked platform, four or five plates of ply glued face to face with the outline shaped like a drift of leaves. You can count the layers on the edge in the photographs. That platform does two jobs: it gives a flat façade enough weight to stand on its own, and it raises the house so it reads as an object on a shelf rather than a cut-out leaning against something.
Note also how much is engraved rather than cut: ribs, shingles, planks, thatch, the wood grain in the door. On the bare version those lines are the entire design, and there is nothing else holding it up.
Both are single designs — no bundle, no design count to check. The first ships as one ZIP with SVG, AI, DWG, EPS, DXF and PDF, and the maker says only that you should confirm your machine reads those formats. Neither listing states a material, a thickness or a finished size, so scale from your own shelf before you cut.
Rooster in a Pumpkin
A carved jack-o’-lantern with the lid off and a white rooster’s head sticking out of it, comb up, wattle and beak in orange, eyes wide. The pumpkin is built in layers so the triangular eyes and the toothy grin sit in real depth, and the rooster’s feathers are engraved rather than cut.
It is the funniest piece in the list and the one that belongs on a tiered tray or a kitchen shelf rather than a door. Farm Halloween is a niche most makers skip entirely.
The farm tiered tray bundle has ten designs; this is one of them. Files: SVG, DXF, EPS, PDF, JPEG, PNG.
Halloween Window with a Lit Pumpkin
An arched window built up in layers and standing on its own base. Bare branches fill the upper left pane, a spider hangs on a thread in the upper right with a small ghost drifting below it, and the lower left pane is taken up by a big jack-o’-lantern with a carved grin. Little stars and dots are scattered through the panes.
The pumpkin is the trick: it is cut as a separate piece with an open face, so a tealight or a strip of warm LED behind the panel turns the grin into the only lit thing in the room. Everything else stays a dark silhouette against the orange back panel.
Cut two and stand them at an angle to each other in a corner, the way the photo shows — one window reads as decor, two read as a scene.
The listing calls it a glowing shadow box, and that is the right way to think about it: the depth between the layers is what makes the lit pumpkin work, so keep the back panel a few millimetres behind the frame rather than gluing everything flat.

For the wall
Floral Pumpkin Wall Sign
A wide pumpkin cut in dark wood and filled edge to edge with flowers, leaves and curling tendrils, with a maple leaf and a curl of vine at the stem. It hangs from a cord on a single hook.
There is nothing spooky in it at all — no face, no bats, no lettering. That is the point: this is autumn wall art that happens to be pumpkin-shaped, and it holds a wall between the summer decor coming down and the winter one going up.

Putting the pumpkins together
If you cut one thing, cut a pumpkin-shaped board with lettering. It reads as autumn from the street, it takes no fine detail, and nobody outgrows it by November.
If you want a corner rather than a sign, add height and a second material. A stack that stands, one openwork cutout on the wall behind it and a character on the surface — three pieces, three levels, done.
And if you would rather not swap the decor twice, lean on the pieces with no face on them: the mint stack, the leaf stack, the floral wall pumpkin, the Home Sweet Home board. They carry from the first cold week to the winter decor without ever announcing a holiday.
These files are listed with a commercial license, so pieces cut from them can be sold at a fair or in a shop, not only kept for the house.
