I always struggle to even do a simple design. Any tips? although reports say pumpkins will be expensive this year due to poor yield x

A simple design? Take a face....you can draw it on first, but remember you are drawing on what you want to remove, so anything you want to stay has to stay connected to the whole.

You can make a feature bigger to cut out an error. Faces are't meant to be perfect, the wonkier the better, try to do it straight and it should turn out fine.

If even a face is too hard keep it simple. Make it polka dot with an apple corer perhaps? Or cut out a simple crescent moon and a few stars.
