Be Who You Say SVG Cat in the Hat Quote Design for Classroom Signs, Shirts and Mugs
This is a Dr. Seuss quote design, “Be who you are and say what you feel,” set beside the Cat in the Hat’s face, so you get one single-layer artwork for cutting or printing rather than a set of separate images. You receive SVG, PNG, DXF, EPS and PDF files, made for vinyl decals, t-shirts, mugs, posters, tumblers, stickers and classroom signs. The artwork is bold black line art with flat red and white fills. The Cat wears a red and white striped top hat and a red bow tie, with whiskers drawn in black, and the hand-lettered phrase “Those who mind don’t Matter / and those who matter don’t mind” sits along the bottom with “-Dr. Seuss” as the sign-off. It suits back to school displays, reading week bulletin boards, graduation gifts and birthday cards for anyone who loves Dr. Seuss.
Design breakdown
This design is cut in 3 layers, using black, red and white. The black layer holds the bold line art of the Cat in the Hat’s head, whiskers and hand-lettered text. The red layer fills the bow tie and the red stripes of the top hat. The white layer covers the hat’s white stripes and the open areas of the design. The quote lines “Be who you are” and “and say what you feel” appear at the top, with “BECAUSE” and “Those who mind don’t Matter” and “and those who matter don’t mind” below, and “-Dr. Seuss” at the end. Cut complexity is medium: the whiskers and lettering are the finest parts, so cut it at 4 inches or larger on vinyl for the lettering to stay clean.
