I need this for a cake for tomorrow and have spent all day trying to convert it to an SVG so i can cut round it on the cricut, but even tho ive followed every tut it is only opening the inner circle and i am about to throw the laptop out of the window...i just need to be able to cut round the beige frame, i dont need the holes cutting out, but i simply cannot work out why its just loading the red oval and nothing else...
Can someone please do it for me without changing the size of it then also tell me how you did it....i would appreciate it greatly.
It takes me about 4/5 hrs to convert a jpeg to an svg and dont know why i cant get the hang of it, then i cant trace or i get an error message...and i dont have another 4/5 hrs to do this...

Jayne, have you been able to convert the beige frame into an svg at all? If so, in order to get just the outer edge to cut, all you need to di is load the beige frame into your scal software and use the blackout feature. There is no need for a seperate svg and your sizing will be exact. If I misunderstood what you are wanting, then please forgive me. :)

Hey Jayne. Do you have a better quality picture this one is really grainy so it doesn't trace well.

I wouldnt know how to convert the frame as its all one piece....i dont even know how to convert anything, as i dont understand the tuts, cos they dont work for me, i always get an error message in scal and ive mailed the admins but they never reply.

Sorry Jayne no it's not the same as the picture. I made it myself. I wasn't thinking that you were printing the image on the fondant and then counting it out. LOL I was thinking that you were cutting it out like I would for scrapbooking.
