Can you be a little more specific? A Christmas ornament could be anything. Maybe a picture of something similar to what you have in mind?

Do you have any design software on your computer that you’re familiar with? Have you made other things with your Glowforge, or is it brand new?

I have been given the logo, I do not have design software, I usually buy svgs. This is a community project the kids want to paint for their moms. I would like to have 2 layers.

I want to say, that is a fabulous logo!!! I’m a little in love with your kid’s school :heavy_heart_exclamation:

Are you thinking something simple like a wreath shape around the logo, with a hole at the top for a ribbon or hook?

And how big does it need to be?

5 inches or so

Well, here is something you might be able to work with. I adjusted it to be 5-inches wide. The tentacles suckers might cause issues and you might want to delete them and have the kids draw their own, but it was the best I could manage with the image and trying to make it colorable and 2 layers. 5 inches is pretty huge for 2 layers, you’ll need a lot of material.

Pink-Engrave
Green-Score
Blue-Inner Cuts
Red-Outer Cuts

At least it’ll give you something to start with.

No problem, hope it helps. Again, worried about the tentacles…maybe a quick score would be ok…good luck…
