Clipart is just images that are already done for you and freely available for use, so after you google, say, lizard clipart, save the image you like, then insert it into your own image using an image editor.  I created my flag using MS Paint, just the very basic crappy built-in Windows image editor, and that would have inserted saved clip-art images if I had wanted it to, but there are plenty of others available, free and paid.  Gimp is a free open-source answer to Photoshop but I find it generally too complex to work with unless I actually need something it does.  I'm not sure what in-between software is available - what did you use, Myrtle?

Go to your Start button and in the search box type "Paint".  Open that program and you'll see it has brushes, colours, geometric shapes, etc to create your own picture from scratch.  You can Open an image you already have on your computer to crop it, shrink it, cut things out of it and paint over the top of it with the brushes, and you can use the "Paste from..." button to paste saved images (such as clipart) from your hard drive over your existing picture to incorporate them in the design  :)

Edit:  Ta-daaa  - Now you see why I said Paint was crappy...

I was going to do one but I couldn't find any clip art of a half naked fat bloke with Man. Utd. tattoos. Or is that just in tourist land?  :giggle:



Sorry folks. Only kidding.  :D

I used PowerPoint and imported any clipart not available via duckuckgo searches. 

Michael has clearly chickened out, as his offering would have been stunning.

Perhaps we do it again next year?

Good idea- it'll take me that long to get the hang of this stuff. Sorry I offered no competition myself this year.
