Merry christmas door sign

1. With the text tool I wrote the 2 words to use which were merry christmas

2.for the word merry use a font that divides the letters that way

3. select release compound vector to release my word so I can rearrange it

4. then select make compound vector

5. arrange my word christmas in the center 

6. add an outline of 6

7. then place my Christmas lights design that I designed with the silhouette program and add a 5 outline

8. Create the circles where my cord will hang so I can join the 2 parts of the sign later.

9. I added a minimum outline to avoid having to use the unite tool, I made those circles smaller and selected subtract at overlap
