There are three files to download depending on what you want: an Inkscape file and a SCAL one and a png. The two background papers are not included.
Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL2)
This pic is from SCAL. I did a "place image" so that you could just print the whole card and cut a rectangle mat around it. I've separated all the pieces into named layers to make it a bit simpler to cut the pieces. For some reason the little blue eyes didn't come through but a blue marker will take care of that.
I've also done a path/simplify on all of the pieces. SCAL does a much better job than Inkscape of smoothing out the nodes automatically. You'll want to download both the scut file and the png file if you want them both.
Inkscape
In Inkscape I did not put the pieces into layers as I find they get in the way of SCAL. If you are using something other than SCAL you may want to do the layers thing to make cutting easier for color separation.

I made the basket using a technique from my YouTube video Make a Simple Basket or see the post here
The eggs in the basket are from my video on YouTube: Make Cutouts in Objects or see the post here
A bunny is a bunny and a "google" search will find you any number of copyright free images to use. I made the clouds but there are lots of those images around too. SCAL has them on them in the shapes table.
Other software and cutters
I've never heard that the Inkscape files do not work for MTC users or for those people with cutters that cut directly but you'd just have to try it. I'd appreciate knowing if there is a problem that I could be aware of.

Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave in the Cutting category today [28 Mar 01:00am GMT]. Thanks, Maria
This is so cute!! I know a little boy that would just love this card. Thanks for sharing. :D
You have convinced me to buy SCAL. Once I do, should I go back to the beginning of your posts and read forward or just jump in with current stuff?
Kimberly, I suggest that you just jump in now. The program has change dramatically over the 3 years I've worked with it. There are a lot of tutorials listed on the CraftEdge page.

Lots of good folks to provide support and help.
If you haven't bought SCAL yet you can click on the link above (left hand side) and buy through me and I get a little bonus for your purchase. You are buying directly from CraftEdge so no worries.
thanks for your interest and I look forward to seeing you on the forum.

I have Inkscape .47 and I have noticed some quirks with MTC. I had a couple card files that were missing a few nodes in MTC. I ended up using the SCAL program to save as SVG and then the MTC could open the files with no missing nodes. It was strange - most SVG files opened just fine but there were a couple that had problems.
