Penguin Pair SVG

About this design

Two penguins who go everywhere together. They stand side by side, cheek to cheek, one with its eyes closed in a happy smile, and share a single long scarf wrapped around both of their necks, with the fringed ends hanging down on either side. Their cream tummies stand out against the raspberry bodies.

It is a sweet way to say “we belong together”, which makes it a lovely choice for couples, siblings, best friends and twins. It suits Valentine’s projects in the middle of winter, too.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 3 pieces and 9 cut-outs. The two penguins touch, so they cut mostly as one shape, with the faces, tummies and scarf as cut-outs. It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches tall.

Color layers

• Backing in cream: shows as the faces and tummies

Projects

• First Christmas together ornaments.

• Valentine’s and anniversary cards in winter.
• Wedding favors for a December wedding.

Size guide

Color ideas

• Black and white with a red scarf, the classic
• Raspberry and cream, as shown
• Navy and white with a gold scarf for a wedding

Variations to try

• Cut the scarf separately in a different color and layer it on top.
• Add initials on each tummy in your design software.

Making it personal

The two penguins are almost the same size, so they work for any pair: a couple, two siblings, a parent and child or two best friends. Add a name or an initial on each tummy in your design software, or put a shared surname and the year underneath. For two matching shirts, cut the design twice and add each person’s name below.
