Ring My Bell - Inkscape (take two)

Waaaaaayyyy back last year when there was only SCAL1 for the Mac I did this file and I loved it, and so did a lot of you.  One of my biggest downloads at the time.  

I decided to clean up the Blog and rid it of OLD stuff and found I still loved this file but it really needed help.  I've learned so much in the last year and the software has come a long way so I decided to rework the file for those of you who might want it updated or those who never saw it in the first place.

I've connected the words so less paper pieces, cleaned up the holly leaves and generally made it more easily cutable for SCAL2 users.


Although the picture shows a nice background it is not included in the file since it is a "background" and really needs to be printed, nor is the "Merry Christmas". (have to leave you something to create on your own, don't you think?)

NOTE to SCAL2 users.  The later versions of SCAL, the ones that have simplify do a much better job of reducing nodes than does Inkscape 0.48.  I'm using SCAL 2.030.  So try it out do speed up and smooth out the cutting.
