An orca is the most graphic animal in the sea – black body, white belly and that tall white eye-patch. This ornate edition adds scrollwork and a heavier border, so it reads as a formal panel rather than a quick craft.

What’s Inside
- Orca · Ornate — a single, bold motif
One ready-to-cut design: Orca · Ornate. The pack includes the cut-ready file plus a line-art sheet for tracing and colouring. A streamlined black body with a white underside, a white eye patch and a tall triangular dorsal fin. The white shapes are cut as negative space from the black body, which is what gives the orca its unmistakable look. This ornate edition adds scrollwork and a heavier border, so it reads as a formal panel rather than a quick craft.
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
Boys’ rooms, coastal displays, feature windows and nautical gift cards.
FAQ
Are the white patches hard? They are simple ovals – cut as holes. This ornate edition adds scrollwork and a heavier border, so it reads as a formal panel rather than a quick craft.
