    Arrow Need help with two simple image outlines

    I've been tasked with cutting 16 pcs. each design, outa 1/4 in. ply
    for a kiddies party!

    Major creative stuff, I know...
    except I haven't the faintest clue how to rasterize these outlines
    into a cuttable shape, suitable for importation into our ancient Vector 9 software
    which will accept either .dxf or .ccd files.

    Hoping someone can help here, otherwise I'll have to slave for hours with a 1-inch grid
    (never done that before either) -usually we have a clever design artist-kid working here
    who does this kinda thing.

    Willing to email anyone the original .jpg images (at 188k and 263 k.)
    I've (Photoshop) rendered them in stark black and white
    for maximum contrast between object and background
    but can rework the images any which way you need -even take new photos...no problem.

    Life-size of the cutouts provided are on the order of 20 ins. tall..

    Help!!

    Many thanks Tom --will try your version of the simpler one

    Scott's version of the simpler outline is behaving funny near the tip of the horse's nose.

    His other one runs just fine and I'm presently cutting 16 of them.
