32.  Apply a cutout using these settings:

Add another cutout only this time change the vertical to -5 (minus 5)

34.  We're almost done, all we need to do is add a bit of curly vines coming out of the stem on our pumpkin.   Add a new layer and name it "Vines".

35.  Set your foreground color to the green or #556B55.  Turn off the background color.  Select your drawing tool using these settings:

36.  Draw in two or three curly vines, then apply the inner bevel preset of Metallic.  You will notice it is a bit bright, but we'll fix that right away.

37.  Colors - Adjust Brightness/Contrast using these settings:

You are all done!  Congratulations!  You survived the Bezier Curve workout!
