This one is a little special. You will need the correct svg image. I have attached it to this project and it is in a zip file called mandala-svg.zip. You will need to download the zip file and extract the svg.
when the image first renders it will have the Maker World Logo, this is normal! You will need to upload the mandala file in the SVG Base Settings (not the Image-SVG Settings).
