Bat Peeking Out of a Jack-o-Lantern Coloring Page
A small bat sits inside a carved pumpkin's grin, a bold Halloween sheet built from a few very large shapes.

The pumpkin is the big shape here, taking up nearly the whole page. It is drawn as a wide ribbed sphere, with six curved ribs dividing the body into tall panels and a thick stem curling over at the top like a question mark.
The carving is simple and deliberately so. A triangle is cut for the nose and a long curved grin runs across the lower third with two square teeth standing in it. Where the eyes would normally go, a small bat has taken their place: a round head with two ears, dot eyes and a little smile, with its wings spread wide to either side above the nose.
That substitution is what gives the sheet its joke, and it also means the face has no symmetry to get right, which helps a child who wants to color each side differently.
Everything is open outline with no shading anywhere, and the shapes are about as large as they get on a coloring page. The ribs alone give six separate panels to vary an orange across, and the bat in the middle is small enough to pick out in black without taking long.
