LOL.<br /><br />I have a program called XnView, I can create horizontal and vertical strips of images. So, I first do a horizontal one with the first three books, then another one with the last three and then a vertical one with the two strips. It sounds more complicated than it is. If you don't have that program, I'm sure yours will offer similar works. I had been looking for a nice program with collages, I used to have one but that was discontinued. And then I noticed I had this right on my PC.<br /><br />I find that blogger doesn't make it easy to put several pictures in a post exactly where you want them, so this is a good alternative.<br /><br />I hope this helps you and you will be able to find something similar.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-6557663245317656962022-12-02T17:08:04.563+01:002022-12-02T17:08:04.563+01:00Yes, Emma.

I do love odd words and where they come from. My family still uses "collywobbles" but I haven't heard it spoken for a while! I did try to use lonely and unloved words @ work which caused a bit of confusion sometimes. I still can't understand the number of people who didn't know what 'winnowing' meant.....
