      i use paint shop pro so i can only tell you how i do them in psp

      open an image with either a transparent or the colour of your choice background

      if its transparent you can choose a colour and a texture and fill the image - you will have a digital paper scrap
      to make it totally different use brushes to get the effect you want

      hope that helps

            You can download the Gimp and it's free, not just a trial. It does most things the expensive programs do.

            Download at:http://www.gimp.org/windows/


            TUTORIAL FOR MAKING PNG TRANSPARENCIES USING GIMP

            1.Open your clipart in the Gimp program
            2.Go to layer & click on transparency, click to the right for menu
            3.Click on add alpha channel
            4.Go to tools-selection tools-fuzzy select
            5.Click on your white background
            6.Go to edit & click on cut
            7.Go to file-save as. Name your document. Choose folder you want to save in.
            8.Click on select file type-click on png- click on save.
            9.In the box that comes up, place a checkmark beside:
            save background color; save resolution; save color values.
            10.Hit ok
            This sounds like a lot of steps, but it's really fast & easy to do.

            Doing this will get rid of the dreaded "white box".
