over the extensions of layer one which
show above arch assembly, and then
overlap onto sawtooth arches so they show
on the front.

of the assembly, in the position shown here
(with top of 'HAPPY' extending a bit above
the tallest part of sawtooth arch), and centered.
(Use the process of step 7 below to check positioning.)
Don't forget the 'jot' of the 'i' in 'Birthday'.
7. Position the tree arm that is included in
finial cut file, at the bottom of the finial assembly
with punch holes, bottom straight edges aligned.
NOTE that the arm of the ornament tree needs
to be built up of multiple layers as described
