A butterfly. It has alot of cut outs, so I would recommend making it big. I cut it at 4 inches in height and the holes in the wings are still a little difficult to work with, so maybe 6 inches or so would be best. TFL. :)

Nice! Thank you! I am amassing a huge file of butterflies. They look so nice on cards. If I have a design that has small holes, I take it into Inkscape and enlarge the holes so they will show up. It usually works pretty well and doesn't change the design.

That's a great idea - hadn't thought of that. Now, if only I wasn't so dreadfully afraid of Inkscape. LOL. :lol:

My first post...go me! Like Linda, I use Inkscape to make the small areas bigger. If you can break the paths apart, you can change the size of each piece individually. Once you do it, it is easy. Especially when you use shortcut keys. I use the same method to make my shadow backgrounds.
