Tree Smiling - Inkscape

I've been practicing with the bezier tool lately and there was a request for a family tree that was smiling that you could add dates to.  So I practiced and here is the result.


Obviously you don't need the face if you just want a tree!  The leaves are just clouds from the SCAL shapes table that I copy/pasted into the Inkscape file.  

Hope you have a use for it since I really like it and wanted to share.  It should cut nicely in any program you have for your cutter, or use your pens, chalk and treat it like a digi-stamp. Play with the bezier tool and add more detail or just draw....a great way to spend a day!

I see it with pictures or birth dates in the leaves.  If you do something please let me know where you post so I can see them.  A little credit or link to this post would be appreciated.

This is such a cute idea! I love this tree it reminds me of Carmel! The face on the tree takes me back to HR puffin' stuff (what was he puffin' on) and that kid with the talking flute, and the people with the big hats for heads, remember that show? What I'm trying to say is I love the file!

I really like this tree - I think I will use it without the face in an Asian theme. Thank you so much for sharing this file. Jeanette

Your tree looks great.
I was visiting Belinda's blog and your tree on her blog list caught my eye and I followed it here, lol.
