Lightning Mcqueen Cars Movie Sublimation Design for Kids Birthday Party Shirts
This Lightning McQueen Cars Movie Sublimation design is one retro racing graphic, delivered as a single PNG file with a transparent background, made for sublimation printing on shirts, tumblers and mugs. The artwork brings together Lightning McQueen, Mater, Sally Carrera, Doc Hudson and Ramone against a checkered flag pattern, with the words THINK FAST and the number 95 set in bold lettering. You will find red, yellow, blue, lavender purple and light blue across the characters and stripes, with black and white outlining to keep the scene sharp. Speed stripes and a lightning bolt add energy, and the distressed vintage finish gives it a nostalgic look that suits a kids party, a birthday or a race day. Because the file is a PNG, you can place it straight into your print software without any cutting setup.
Design breakdown
The design is cut in 12 layers and uses eight colours: red, yellow, blue, lavender purple, light blue, brown, black and white. It features the Lightning McQueen race car, Mater tow truck, Sally Carrera, Doc Hudson, Ramone, a checkered flag pattern, speed stripes, a lightning bolt and the number 95, with the lettering Lightning, McQueen and THINK FAST. The file is delivered as a flat PNG on a transparent background, so it is intended for printing rather than vinyl cutting. The fine details in the characters and lettering are best printed at 4 inches or larger.
