On the swirl I used the bottom rounded part of the swirl actually blended into the tab, so you would just end up with a straight line at the bottom of the swirl if did that, and two large ones are the same, so not really any use in cutting them off, as you would still have a straight edge.

Some of them I think you could cut off the tabs if you wanted.  I assume the tabs are a storage device, but am not sure.
