What’s Inside
- Black Cat · Window Roundel — a single, bold motif
One ready-to-cut design: Black Cat · Window Roundel. The pack includes the cut-ready file plus a line-art sheet for tracing and colouring. The arched back and upright tail form one continuous outline, which keeps the cut simple and the shape strong. Framed in a classic round window, this version hangs on the glass like a little paper moon.
Three Ways to Use It
1. Cut it with a Cricut or Silhouette
The file is closed-path vector art with no overlapping lines, exactly what cutting software expects. Scale to your cardstock and cut from 80 gsm upward; a fine-point blade handles it cleanly.
2. Cut it by hand
Print at 100%, staple the sheet to a folded square of paper, and cut through both layers. Most people finish in well under half an hour.
3. Trace and colour
The line-art sheet doubles as a colouring and tracing page, a ready-made activity for classroom or family craft time.
Materials
Red cardstock or origami paper (80–160 gsm) · scissors or a craft knife · a printer · double-sided tape. Add a Cricut or Silhouette if you would rather not cut by hand.
Best For
Halloween windows, porch decor, cards and classroom displays.
FAQ
Is the tail fragile? It is drawn thick – cut it last and it holds fine. Framed in a classic round window, this version hangs on the glass like a little paper moon.
Should I use black paper? Black is traditional, though red reads brighter on a lit window.
Can I cut it small? Keep it above 10 cm so the tail stays distinct.
