Help finding a couple SVGs-silhouette & box

Hi, I'm pretty new to SCAL, I've only actually done one project with it, but I've been trying to find svgs for a female silhouette-similar to a cameo but a little more modern-as well as a simple but decorative box (maybe a pillow box, or something similar.) If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it. I tried doing searches and saw silhouettes similar to what I was looking for, but I don't have any way to create svg files, or the know how. Thanks again :)

If you found them here on this board just open them in SCAL and CUT.
Or, open SCAL and use File and the TRACE, find the picture and OPEN, adjust the brightness and click ok and it will open on the mat in SCAL.
Go File and Export to your desktop and you have an .svg.

Hi Sweetness, thanks for the reference, but I may have described it incorrectly (although that is a great file :) I'm looking for a head silhouette, but something a little more simple and modern-like a young lady with a pony tail or something more "chic" I guess. I'm hoping to cut the image at 12" on chipboard or heavy card stock and use it to display a necklace and possibly earrings...I need something to take pics of my jewelry on, and don't really care for the traditional jewelry busts. Thank you again for the help :)

Thanks for the links, the pillow box is great, and it looks like I've got some homework to do, I'll have to start studying the tuts :)

Not sure if this will help, I know that if you do a search on here for Barbie, you will come up with some svg's for a silhouette that might work.
