Well I found this program called Gimp at download.com. See I didn't know what it did or what I could do with it, but I gave it a try. So for two days I was just fiddling around with it, when I got the idea to look for some tutorials here.
So I looked and found one that makes stars, I followed the instructions and I was amazed at what this program could do. Then I learned that it is the same as Photoshop (I have wanted it since I knew what it could do).
Needless to say I love it, and I plan on making more sigs and all kinds of stuff.
