A mountain sunrise is a landscape with a light source – a disc lifting behind a ridge that makes the whole window warm. Framed in a classic round window, this version sits on the glass like a little paper moon.

What’s Inside
- Mountain Sunrise · Window Roundel — a single, bold motif
One ready-to-cut design: Mountain Sunrise · Window Roundel. The pack includes the cut-ready file plus a line-art sheet for tracing and colouring. A low ridgeline sits in front of a large disc, with two or three short rays breaking above the ridge. The disc is cut as a ring so the sun reads as a shape rather than a hole, and the ridge overlaps it, which is what creates the sense of distance. Framed in a classic round window, this version sits 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
Morning windows, bedrooms, travel rooms and optimistic displays.
