Step 1) This project starts with a eagle from the shapes list, it is resized to work with at this time. the outline feature is used to create   an outline of the eagle. once this is complete a second image is selected from the shapes list but this time it is a rabbit. i don't want a rabbit, 
I want a rat so i have to make a rat from the rabbit. This is done by selecting the rabbit but changing the ratio of sizes to newly shape the look of a rat more than a rabbit. A tail is needed so I created a tail that with be united to the rat body.

Step 2) Now the rat is complete it is outlined just like the eagle was, once this is done the rat is placed just below the eagle's feet. Then the wording is added. i used the text editor to add the wording For The Kill…. this was sized and placed just in front of the eagle after the font was chosen. Now all of the new created image was highlighted and the combine feature was used. I selected subtract at overlap so I could set the entire imafe to engrave and only the outline would be effected.

Step 3) Now the laser machine has finished engraving the newly created image a simple cleaning of the mouse pad was done with a wet cloth. Once this was complete the mouse pad with it's strong message of the food chain is ready to be used.
