Feel free to resize the files to make a smaller or bigger poinsettia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may take a little longer to load in Cricut Design Space.

The poinsettia layers are <strong>score lines.<\/strong> But Cricut doesn&#8217;t know what it needs to score so take each bundle of layers and <strong>ATTACH them<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"553\" src=\"https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-at-Nov-09-03-12-42-1024x553.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-at-Nov-09-03-12-42-1024x553.png 1024w, https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-at-Nov-09-03-12-42-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-at-Nov-09-03-12-42-768x415.png 768w, https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-at-Nov-09-03-12-42-600x324.png 600w, https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-at-Nov-09-03-12-42.png 1166w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then set each poinsettia layer to <strong>score <\/strong>in the line type.
