Skull Impaled by Sword Halloween Quote SVG Design for Shirts, Mugs and Decals
This Skull Impaled by Sword design is a single vector quote artwork with bold sans-serif lettering that reads “ROSES ARE RED, CANDLES ARE LIT, DO NO HARM, BUT TAKE NO SHIT.” You receive the files in SVG, PNG, DXF, EPS and PDF, made for shirts, tumblers, mugs, vinyl decals and stickers. The skull sits on a red circle halo, pierced by a sword and framed by red roses with thorny stems, four candles with red flames and leaves. The palette is black, white, red and grey, so it cuts cleanly from one colour of vinyl or prints well on dark fabric. It suits Halloween and everyday wear for adults who like a dark, humorous message. The gothic, flat illustration style keeps the lettering and the skull readable at the size you cut it.
Design breakdown
The design is cut in 5 layers, using black, white, red and grey, with red reserved for the halo, roses and candle flames. The four lines of lettering are set in bold sans-serif type and sit around the skull, sword, roses and candles. The fine rose thorns and candle details are the smallest parts, so cut the design at 4 inches or larger. Medium cutting complexity: weeding the small leaves and lettering counters takes care, but the shapes are clearly separated. The design is shown on a white background in the preview.
