Always good to see people taking part in the monthly #inkscapechallenge

A smiling lucky cat with its right paw raised. It has a red ribbon around its neck with a yellow bell on it. It has magenta whiskers and claws, and its ears are red and magenta. It is smiling. There is a large vector version at 512px size and two small pixel art versions at 32px and 16px sizes.

I made a pixel art lucky cat and a high-resolution vector version for the Inkscape February Challenge: Make a Retro Gaming Asset. Blog post in the comments.

There's time left if you want to try it!
