I made the lettering bigger so you could read it easier on the shirt but I think I will print some on paper and see what it looks like.

and of course you can play with the colors too.

I moved the lettering around more.

No, but I used to sideline as a sign painter and painted a bunch of race vehicles. I'm pretty awkward with the computer. I just like to play with the paint program sometimes.

If you Google search for free fonts to download you can find more lettering options to use. I know there are better programs out there to use for photo manipulation but I've never tried them.

You usually have to install the new fonts after downloading them. Some sites make it easier than others.

- just another tip...

I usually open 2 copies of the paint program at the same time. I put them side by side on the computer screen. Then I import to and modify images on 1 of the paint programs and then copy them to the other. That way the one copy works as sort of a scratch pad. I usually try to figure out the dimensions for the design I want to have first. - And make both copies of paint the same size 'canvas'. It gives me a better feeling for layout. - And then when you copy from the one open paint program to the other, things will be scaled correctly.

That's a heck of a good price. What size of a print will they do for that price? My printer will only do 8&1/2 by 11. I would have liked to have done larger.
