We want to apply the same fill as the center section of the pumpkin to the other 8 sections. We can use Copy and Paste Attributes to accomplish this.

Select the filled section and press Ctrl C to copy the fill attributes. Select one of the unfilled sections and press Shift Ctrl A (or select Paste Attributes from the Edit menu). Repeat until all the sections are filled.

Make a duplicate of the pumpkin ( Ctrl K or Ctrl D) and set it aside for the moment.

Select the pumpkin, and from the Arrange menu, select Combine Shapes > Add Shapes. Add an outline and set the fill to none.

The outline shape is shown in the next illustration.

Create a 40 pixel diameter circle, and a 20 pixel diameter circle and arrange them as shown on the left of the illustration. Select both and Combine Shapes > Subtract Shapes. (Make sure the small circle is in front of the large circle first!)

Using the Rectangle Tool, draw a rectangle 130 by 20 pixels and center it as shown.
