Birthday Frog SVG

Hop to it

A frog on a lily pad, grinning from ear to ear and holding a balloon, is about as happy as a birthday picture gets. This one sits front on in soft mint with two bulging eyes on top of its head, each a cream circle with a round cocoa-brown pupil. The mouth is one long curved line from cheek to cheek, with two tiny nostrils above and a round peach cheek on each side.

One hand is raised high on the left, gripping the string of a coral balloon that floats up above. The cream belly sits between two big rounded back legs, with webbed feet resting on a sky-blue lily pad that has a wedge cut out of its right side.

Pieces and weeding

The solid version is 23 pieces with 4 cut-outs. The eyes, pupils, cheeks, belly, feet and balloon are all their own pieces, along with the lily pad, so lay vinyl with transfer tape or build paper up on a backing card. The long smile line is the main thing to weed. It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines in cocoa brown: the backing, the pupils and the balloon string
• Mint in soft mint green: the head, eye bumps, body, back legs, feet and raised arm
• Peach in pale peach: the two cheeks
• Sky in pale sky blue: the lily pad
• Cream in warm cream: the eyes and belly
• Coral in coral pink: the balloon

Project ideas

• A “hoppy birthday” card with the frog on the front.
• Invitations for a garden, pond or rainy-day party.
• A kid’s shirt in layered iron-on.
• Rain boot labels or bag tags in permanent vinyl.
• A paper lily pad garland with the frog in the middle.

Putting it together

Lay the lily pad down on the backing first, then the back legs and body. The cream belly sits on top of the body, and the feet go over the legs. Add the eye bumps and the arm, then the head piece, which covers the top of both. The cream eyes and peach cheeks come last, and the balloon can go on whenever is easiest.

A tip for the eyes

The pupils are part of the brown backing, so the cream eye pieces have to sit exactly over them. Place the cream eye pieces with tweezers and look straight down at the design as you press them, so the frog does not end up looking off to the side.

Color ideas

A bright green frog on a darker green pad is classic, and a lilac frog suits a fairy garden party. Try ideas in our guide on changing SVG colors.
