Hello Keeron. I make my buttons using Photoshop. Some use Paint Shop Pro, but I don't have that program and it is not in my budget to buy it. Anyway, in Photoshop I tinker around with different fonts and clipart although sometimes I draw my own art on paper and then scan it in adding fonts later. Check out my buttons at <a href="http://crochetmyway.visualrhetoric.org/buttons.php" target="_new">crochetmyway.visualrhetoric.org/buttons.php</a>

try going here:

www.snapfiles.com/get/pixia.html (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pixia.html)

There is a free photo editor with your basic button making features: edit photo, apply button feature to round the edges.

It's free... :clap it's buggy...:shrug but it works!

but do you need to supply your own clipart or pics for the buttons or do you make it with the programs? I want to make some but have no idea what i'm doing. <img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/toothygrin.gif" />lol

I stole mine from Button Generator (http://www.buttongenerator.com/) although it might not be stealing if it's free. If you make a button there and use it, they ask that you post a link back to their site, and even give the code for it. I just added their button to my button bar on my blog with the link to them, so that satisfies the requirements (I hope). Only thing, I don't think they can be used to put pictures in, like Wild Yarn's button comes to mind as an example.

Hope that helps!
