Design breakdown
This is a single portrait-oriented badge design cut in about 10 layers with high cut complexity due to small lettering, flames and checkered flags. The artwork uses 6 colors: racing red, black, white, yellow, cream and light blue, with a solid white preview background and distressed texture throughout. Best cut at 4 inches or larger to keep the eyes, lightning bolt and flame decals clean.
