There is one pretty close to this in the basic shapes for fall. Maybe that will work for you. Or you can manipulate one of the ovals in the basic shapes.

I don't have a clue how to do any of that, so I would appreciate it if someone would help me out and make it for me, or as close to it as possible.
Thanks again.

Here's how to create a svg file of your leaf image using SCAL2:

Open SCAL
Click File, then trace image.
Another window will appear. Click Browse then the file on your computer with the leaf image.
Change the Brightness settings to 70
Check the box that says Break Apart Outlines
Click Preview
Click Save to save your trace as a SVG file.
Click the X in the upper right to close the trace feature.
You now have a SVG leaf file.
Click import then the leaf file name and your leaf will be ready to cut.

Another think you can do is in SCAL 2.. just go to the basic shapes and under the fall shapes.. there is a foot ball.. click on it.. Click on break apart.. move the main football out of the way and delete the insides that are left.. Just a shortcut for me..LOL

Anyhow here is your main request..LOL

Thank you very much, Deloris and Sweetness for all your help.
I first did it your way Deloris, and it worked....thank you.
Then I did it the football way, Sweetness, and that worked too....thank you.
You both have taught me soooooo much.
Have a great day!
