| Dot Range | Pattern | Why It Matters | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Numeric | Alphabet | ||
| 10 11 | J K | Sharp turns | The measured sharp turn sits just above the pumpkin, where the hat brim ends beside the small ghost. Find dots 10 and 11 first, then check dot 12 before drawing. |
| 13 15 | M O | Curved | These dots curve around the top of the floating ghost. Use a slow, steady line. |
| 16 17 | P Q | Sharp turns | Here the path turns sharply at the base of the autumn leaf on the right. Locate dot 17 before making the bend. |
| 22 24 | V X | Curved | Dots 22 to 24 follow one of the leaf's curling tendrils. Make each short connection separately so the curl stays even. |
| 27 28 | AA AB | Sharp turns | This sharp point is the tip of the autumn leaf. Check dot 28's position before drawing toward it. |
| 30 31 | AD AE | Sharp turns | The last sharp turn brings the leaf back toward the pumpkin's right side. Slow down through dots 30 and 31. |
