Hi

I don't know how complicated a pattern you require and the picture was quite small to do lots with. However, here is a quick and easy one for you. It may be of use, alter it at will , but if you do use it, please post pic of your cutting.

Cheers

Sue

Thank you Sue. If it would help, I can resize it (with Irfanview) but resolution would deteriorate. Maybe 125 or 150 percent? Otherwise I think I can make it work. Silver Sliver

Thank you Kevin. I will probably cut both of them and let my granddaughter pick the one she likes best. You people are the best. Silver Sliver

After looking at the patterns that JigSue and Fremmed provided, my granddaughter decided on the one Kevin made. I cut it out and framed it for her. Thank you both very much for the help. Below is the finished product. I used 1/8" baltic birch and used no finish on the cutout. Just framed it and put a piece of glass in front. Silver Sliver
