And I forgot to mention, if you're not interested in learning how to digitize; you only need to buy Embird Basic. It will allow you do everything I mentioned above but not digitize. And that is what is so nice about Embird, only have purchase what you want! There are other parts of the program that you can purchase like Iconizer and Font Engine but I've not purchased them so I can't say anything about them. I have had Embird for nearly 15yrs and wouldn't take anything else even if it was given to me. Chris
