This was one of a stack cut from 1/8 Baltic Birch Plywood. The base idea came from this community, and I thank whoever provided the information regarding the base. Seemed bare without the "frame" on the cutting, so I tried another idea.
Guess I screwed up and accomplished my mission - they both liked it.
Now I have been asked to cut an owl shape to be used for a clock. Back to the shop.

Thanks again to Mahendra for the pattern, and the green background was a request as her favorite color. Have a decent day.
