I am going to try again. I have very carefully re-sized so think I will try first one and if it looks ok, will do the others. I'm working with Windows 7 now and I would take XP back any day. Here goes.

I reduced the size even more than before and they just aren't coming out right, but will post anyways.

I am resizing my cards as I have always done, so don't know what the problem is. Any suggestions?

A lovely set of cards, Ginny. Your stitching is perfect, and I love the monkey card!
The only thing I can think of to re-size is to use the paint program.

Love them all but the second one is my favorite. As for the resizing, I had that problem with one pic and ended up going back and resizing it yet again - I think I did it like 25% more at first to see how that looked and don't remember if I had to do it a third time or not. Good luck.

If you're using the Paint program to reduce the size of your pictures, I think you might not be choosing "Save" when you are finished, and therefore the picture stays the same size. Just a thought--I'm no computer geek, for sure!

Thsnks everyone. I am using paint and I think the last time I did it, I went to 25% and I thought I had saved it - but by that time, I was so frustrated I can't say for sure. I may try again tomorrow with another card and will be very careful what I do and see what happens. I hate to post something and have it look like these and take peoples' time to look at them.
