Visit www.littlebigtree.com to buy our Crafting CD-Rom “The Wings and Flowers Collection” Volume 1. Volume 2 will be available in 2010! Also, check out our other crafting CD–Roms, Just for Him and Bundles of Joy. This advert was created by our very own Kris Avery who is one of the artists on the CD! He spent several months (around creating the hundreds of images for the CDs) and wanted to create something a bit magical. We really hope you like our little video, and give us a visit if you enjoy making cards, scrapbook pages or atcs! There is lots on the CDs for you… This CD contains OVER 500 unique images!! Not only do you get tonnes of flowers, butterflies, dragon flies, leaves and pebbles, but you now also get some amazingly modern papers, boxes, tags, banners and even tea bags thrown in for good measure. On top of this, we have greatly improved the LBT embellishment engine to allow for even better and faster features! So all the colour changing and size tools are better than ever before, and now you can easily mirror and outline too. Finally, we’ve built it all from scratch so that you can add single items to your page, and it will auto arrange them for you to reduce paper wastage. All of the artwork is totally original, and has a fresh modern feel so will stand out from anything else on the market today. http
