Hello again Danie
If you are using SCAL 1. the black one is grouped. Scal 1. doesn't like groups.

You need to open them in Inkscape To get it apart. choose the Object icon then ungroup once to make it two groups then then choose the poinsettias again to ungroup them and after you get them ungrouped you need to path break apart the poinsettias to get the backgroud away from the petals. Same with the black back ground it is also needs to do the path break apart. If you keep an eye on the center bottom of page in Inkscape and it will tell you when they are no longer grouped.

After you get them ungrouped and broken apart you can place them on the mat the way you want

If you are using SCAL 2. it will accept groups and you need to get the poinsettias and do a path break apart in Inkscape to be able to get the layers that you can move where you want them.

Hope this helps

I have the scale 2 but I don't no what you said with ¨you need to get the poinsettias and do a path break apart in Inkscape to be able to get the layers that you can move where you want them. ¨

Yes Danie
Do a object ungroup first and it will give you two groups, one of the frame and one of two poinsettias. then with your curser choose the poinsettias and do another object ungroup, this will give you two poinsettias. Choose one of the poinsettias and do another object ungroup and do a path break apart. That last step will cause the layers, and then of course you have to do the second poinsettia with follow the ungroup and break apart options. One thing to remember these are all grouped and then regrouped in sections. If you are using SCAL 2. you are only concerned with the poisettias so you can eventually break them apart.

Darn!!! I made the card but forgot to take a picture of it.. It turned out beautifully .. I used it as a window on a card.. I already gave the card out in a gift exchange The only part I had a hard time with was the outlines of the pointsettias so I outlined with a black marker..
