Welcome to the world of American Beauty Collage!! We call ourselves "collage"
because of the wide variety of styles and techniques I employ to create our 
designs. These large, high resolution images--motifs, medallions, frames, 
labels and etc.--are suitable for a great variety of purposes, such as: 
dressing up your publications, flyers, stationery, and notecards; for framed 
prints; for etchings; for embroidery, quilting, and woodworking patterns; 
jewelry designs; textile design; and many other uses.

Most of the images are large because of high resolution; however, they may be 
resized in your applications. (Some of the shaded designs change character
when resized, but are still very nice; and also be aware that the images
don't show up as well on the screen as when printed out.) Although they 
occupy many bytes, they may be copied onto floppies, and imported into 
your applications directly from floppy disks. The color images in this demo 
assortment will print very nicely in black and white. Because it was 
impossible to give descriptive filenames to these indescribable designs using 
only eight letters, it is wise to make printouts of your collection, so you 
can remember what you have available.

These designs may be used for any purpose whatsoever without written per-
mission; except credit may not be taken, and they may not be resold in 
graphics design collections.

There is no registration fee for this demo volume; however a donation of up 
to $5.00 will bring you our newsletter catalog, and entitles you to purchase 
additional designs as they become available--at very low prices for very high 
quality. We've got lots of nice things coming in the future--beautiful,
fanciful, and/or whimsies--in several formats, color, greyscale, shaded, and
monochrome. We would like to hear from you, and let us know what kind of 
designs you are most interested in. Thank you sincerely for trying 
American Beauty Collage images.
