Desert silhouette of mesa, butte and spire, as a solid black shape
Desert silhouette of mesa, butte and spire. The preview is the SVG file itself.

A desert skyline as one plain shadow: a mesa, a butte with its thumb of rock, a spire and two saguaros on a flat strip of ground. No cut-outs, so it stands as the back layer of a shadow box.

This shape is also a part in the shadow box scene maker, where you can stand it in a layered scene and download the sheets.
