This Nativity design is five layers thick. You can simplify the pattern by eliminating layers. You could just cut layer two and layer five. Leave out the text and you would have a simple two-layer project.
This pattern could be easily adapted to the laser cutter. I would use 1/8" thick BB ply with the laser.
This young lady gives a very good explanation of scroll saw blades in under two minutes.
I apologize that I do not know this young lady's name. Her YouTube channel name is Oak&Feather Decor. She takes the rather complicated information of scroll saw blades and explains it in under two minutes. She just lays out the facts on the different styles of blades with no unnecessary information.
There is not much info here for seasoned scrollers but if you are somewhat new to the hobby then this video will help. You may have to watch it a couple of times to get all the information because she moves along. Make sure to leave a comment and hit the thumbs-up button.

OMTech Upgraded 55W CO2 Laser Engraver Cutter with 16 x 24 Inch Work Table, Laser Engraving CNC Machine with Ruida Digital LCD Real-Time Data, LightBurn Software for Windows, Mac OS, Linux $2,399.99
I bought this laser as a backup to my main laser. I was not expecting the quality to be up to par because the price is so low. There is some truth to that but all in all, I am very impressed. The build quality is not bad at all. The upgraded Lightburn software is simply fantastic. Lightburn was a separate purchase when I bought the laser. Now it is included. I did end up, upgrading the exhaust fan and water cooler but the included units are functional.
If you have not used a laser engraver before then be prepared for a learning curve. It does take some experimenting to get the best results from both cutting and engraving.
My laser cutters are my second favorite tool in my shop after the scroll saw.
