If someone want to do this, let me know. I can produce an SVG file that might be more useful, rather than a bitmap. Once I get this settled down, I'll see about releasing the source files that I used to construct this. There is:

1. An OpenSCAD program that generates the outline, the opening for each key in the overlay, and the keycap itself
2. An Inkscape file (SVG + a bunch of metadata) which consists of multiple layers that include the imported SVG from OpenSCAD, layers for the LS and RS labels, the alphabetic characters, keytop labels, and the back sticker.
   

These things are still in flux here. The workflow from start to end is lengthier and more manual than I would like, including dealing with the Cricut Design Space software/cloud service to render to the cutting machine.
