Simple scherenschnitte heart with two birds, as a solid black shape
Simple scherenschnitte heart with two birds. The preview is the SVG file itself.

A plain heart with a tulip cut out of its middle and a songbird perched on each lobe, beak to beak. Only three cut-outs and no strip of paper narrower than 4.4 mm at 100 mm, so it suits a first try with scissors or a knife.
