Your pumpkin should be free of dust. Trace different shapes and sizes of stars (hearts) all over your pumpkin. I started on one side and worked my way around. Keep the pattern evenly spaced and sized.
Carefully cut along traced lines while trying not to push too hard.
For that "Starlight" look, I cutout a small circle on the bottom of my pumpkin and filling it with lights. BOOLA!
