Use the search feature for "butterflies". There have been many posted on the forum.

I have 3 fonts of butterflies all FREE.

Butterfly Heaven
Butterflies
Tribal Butterflies

DaFont has at least two of them and FontSource has many too. A google search for font butterflies will find even more. If you need help with any of them, just ask.

I wasn't doing much this morning so tried to make the butterfly stencle. I used Tribal Butterfly font. All done in ecal.

They cut beautifully on my eclips on cardstock. I'm not sure how they will cut on stencil material or contac paper. I have used contact paper before for making etching stencils, just don't have time to do that today.

Attaching 2 viwes. The one from the eCAL screen and one (a png) of the cut stencils on the mat. NO WEEDING needed on my beautiful eclips! If not useful as a stencil it makes a nice card topper!

Also attaching the scut file. I didn't need inkscape (svg) but if you must you could export it to Inkscape.

Give it a go and let me know.

Susan - I have to be honest, I'm not a big butterfly fan, but those designs are pretty cool looking. :)

Hi, glad you like them.

All you have to do to change a scut3 to a scut2 is rename it.
Download the file
Find it in your directory
Change the extension from, scut3 to scut2 by editing the name.

I'll attach it here,
