Let's Celebrate SVG

A 1970s sunset

The half sun is one of the most familiar shapes of the 1970s, and this file leans right into it. A burnt orange sun sits on the horizon with eleven mustard rays fanning out behind it. Two wavy stripes run underneath, avocado on top and mustard below, like water or a striped road.

The saying sits at the very top and reads in order. Let’s comes first in a rounded, upright face, and Celebrate curves beneath it in a bouncy script that follows the arc of the rays. The face of the sun is left plain, a clean block of orange, so the color does the work and the words never compete with it.

Layer guide

• Base and lines in dark cocoa brown: the backing outline round the sun, each ray and both stripes
• Burnt orange: the half sun
• Mustard: the rays and the lower stripe
• Avocado in olive green: the upper stripe
• Lettering in dark cocoa brown: Let’s and Celebrate

Pieces and weeding

The solid cut has 28 pieces and 6 cut-outs. Each ray is its own piece, as are the two stripes, the sun and the words, so plan on keeping everything on the carrier sheet for iron-on, on transfer tape for adhesive vinyl, or glued to a backing card for paper. Weed the gaps between the rays carefully; they are narrow at the inner end. It passes our cut checks from about 5.5 inches wide.

How big to cut it

The rays need room, so do not go under 5.5 inches. For a small card or a cupcake box label, print it instead and cut the outline with Print Then Cut.

Shirt steps

1. Mirror the design, then cut each layer from iron-on loaded shiny side down.
2. Weed the cocoa base and press it to set the position.
3. Lay the mustard rays and stripe next, then the burnt orange sun and the avocado stripe.
4. Finish with the lettering. Follow your vinyl’s own directions for each press.

Ideas for the day

• Matching family shirts for a backyard party
• A summer birthday at the beach or the pool
• A tote for the birthday person’s presents
• A large sign behind the dessert table

The design also suits a retirement or a graduation party, since Let’s Celebrate does not say what for.

Pairs well with

Put it next to Let’s Party for two halves of a family, or pair it with Another Trip Around the Sun for another sunny design.
