Cutting the Shapes:

In eCAL2, go to the eshape store, and search for a witch. Purchase the shape shown above or a similar shape.
Separate the witch details from the outline by clicking and dragging them apart from each other, take the outline only and resize to 7.66" x 4.676".
Choose an oval shape from the Library and size to 10.794" x 6.484".
Turn the "Layer" off the shapes you will not be cutting. Use "Preview" to ensure what will be cut.
Place the black fabric, fabric side down onto the Fabric Cutting Mat. Press firmly.
Load the Fabric Cutting Mat, and cut when ready. If using scrap pieces, make sure to use "Laser Cut Preview" to ensure you will cut the shape correctly. When cutting the witch, make sure to cut in "Mirror Image" so that she is flying in the correct direction.
Cut. Pull shapes and leftover fabric off the Fabric Cutting Mat.
Repeat steps 5-7 for the yellow oval. You do not need to "Mirror Image."

Assembling the Pillow Top:

Center the witch and oval on the 10 1/2" x 20 1/2" pillow front. Heat fuse in place with an iron.
Sew around the shapes with coordinating thread as desired.
If desired, use batting behind the pieces to add loft when you quilt around the oval.

Finishing:

Baste stitch the pom-pom trim along the perimeter of the pillow front.
Layer the pillow top and pillow back, right sides together. Pin and sew with 1/2" seam allowance, leaving an opening approximately 4" long to stuff.
Clip excess fabric in the corners on the diagonal. Turn right side out, stuff the pillow to desired loft and whipstitch closed.
