“Jewels”, you are so resourceful. Thanks for these tips. I’ve used an online service, but the image was not as good as I would have liked. Looking forward to your cool version. I know it will probably make me want to experiment more with my other books.

Even though I’m too late for a freebie, I have to drop a line and say this is amazing information. I have often wondered how people come up with such cool 3D graphics and now I know. My web designer did some for me for my CDs and they look so much more professional than the flat photos.
You are fabulous!
Thanks so much Jacqueline!
