Resize, Recolor, Reverse to Turn One Image Into Many

Multiply your clip art collection by changing an image multiple times

Use duplicates of a piece of clip art in varying sizes, colors, and orientations. The butterflies on this sign (larger image) have been resized smaller and larger than the original. Some are arranged at different angles. Others are flipped horizontally or vertically. Half of the butterflies are light gray, the other half a slightly darker gray. Tiny duplicates of the butterfly also become the dots on the i in Spring and Fling.

When modifying your clip art, be sure you're doing it correctly. Find out why it's not OK to rotate or resize graphics in a page layout application. Use your image editor or illustration program.
