They look great. Couldn't you have just done a filament switch for the stems though?

It looks like the pumpkin body curves over and then down to the stem, so it would be a lot of filament swaps.

I've been experimenting with that sort of thing. I've been experimenting with a slicer and g-code hacks to do inlays and other simple multi-color prints with just one swap per color. It looks like at least some printers could manage OP's print OK. One of my tests was a jack-o-lantern.
