- Sage leaves
Instructions:

- Use your fingertips to create dimples or indentations in the dough while stretching it out a bit more.
- Cut your small pumpkin in half, scrape the seeds out and cut it into super thin slices.
- Add slices of pumpkin onto the dough to create a pumpkin shape.
- Use sage leaves to create a stem for your pumpkins.
