The sunglasses do the work here. They cover the carved eyes completely, so the face reads as a joke rather than a scare, and they give a small child one big flat shape to fill before the ribs. Orange body, black lenses, and the grin left white so it reads as lit from inside. This Halloween pumpkin coloring page cuts out well for a window. The classic jack-o'-lantern is the straight version.
