You need an image editing program. I used Jasc PSP7 to make the scarf KAL button.

Most or all computers have at least some kind of image editing program. The most common would be MS Paint. You can open an image with the program and using a text tool add text to the image. Or whatever else you wanted to do.

if so, how do i resize it afterwards?

if you made it in paint, I don’t think you can resize it there. There are websites on the net that allow you to upload the photo and resize it, you can try googling it.

thank you for the tip! i left a comment on the blog i got it from, and i’m waiting for a reply. :wink:

oh, and i used HP Image Zone to resize it, so here is the smaller version:

You most certainly can resize using Paint!:mrgreen:

Edited to add: On the menu, >Images>Stretch/Skew and put in matching percents for the stretch and skew.

ugh, its still looks too big! yet ANOTHER smaller pic:

i think this size would be most appropriate for a signature, but now the words look too small :doh:
