Whimsical Striped Cat Balancing Act Clipart for Read Across America
This playful striped cat design is a single character clipart illustration that includes SVG, PNG, DXF, EPS and PDF files for Cricut and Silhouette crafts, t-shirt prints and classroom decor. You will love how much story it packs in: a black-furred cat with a white face wearing a tall red and white striped hat topped with a teacup, a red bow tie, a blue book balanced on one hand, a fish bowl with a fish on the other, a blue umbrella handle with a water splash, and a white ball with a red stripe and yellow star under its foot. Drawn in cartoon hand-drawn ink with a whimsical line art style, it uses red, blue, yellow, black, white and light pink to stay bright and energetic for birthdays, back to school and storytime projects.
Design breakdown
This is a single portrait design built in 7 layers using 6 colors: white, black, red, blue, yellow and light pink. The cut is medium complexity with hand-drawn ink outlines and solid fills, so small details like the teacup on the hat and the fish inside the bowl cut cleanly when sized at 4 inches or larger.
