Will this work for what you have in mind? (I found a kids coloring page with a snow plow and traced it in SCAL2 for you.)

Yes I think that will. thanks much Deloris!

I do have another question. I have attached a picture that I was trying to do in Ink. Is this to detailed to be done? I am trying to figure out what pictures work best for this craft. Is there to much color or not enough contrast with this picture?

Coloring pages or black and white clipart without a lot of details work best. Photos don't give the SCAL2 trace feature clearly defined lines to trace so you really have to spend a lot of time in Inkscape to clean them up so they will cut well.

I think that a lot of the detail in the photo will get lost or distorted when you try to trace it. It's best to stay with simple clip art type drawings that have clear black lines if you want to use SCAL to trace them.

That photo could be used, but not for a trace. The best option would be to use the Bezier tool in Inkscape.

Can you make it so this snow plow cuts in one piece? instead of several pieces.
We are doing a project on Sammy the Snow plow for the school


Thanks
