Cutting and engraving this file

This is a single-colour vector, so it suits engraving directly or cutting as a silhouette. Open it in the Design Editor to scale it, weld overlapping outlines into one cut path, or drop it into a sign, tag or ornament. The geometry is fitted with real curves rather than pixel outlines, so it stays smooth when you scale it up.
