ANAHEIM, Calif., Jan 28, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Thanks to a partnership with Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products, SpongeBob SquarePants and his Bikini Bottom friends are coming to Provo Craft’s Cricut(R) Personal Electronic Cutter in a new cartridge.

The cartridge contains hundreds of images, including all the characters that children have grown to love: SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star, Sandy Cheeks, Squidward Tentacles, Mr. Krabs, Plankton and Gary.
