Add this cluster of stars to any page to give a fun or dreamy effect. Just size to fit, opaque or not, apply a light or heavy shadow, change the hue, it is up to you. Have fun.
IMPORTANT: Click image to bring up high resolution version of freebie. Then, simply right-click on the high resolution image, select "Save as", then save to a location on your hard drive. Once you've downloaded the embellishment, click here to learn how to add this embellishment to your own embellishment collection. You will then be free to use this embellishment however you like. (NOTE: some images will appear to have solid black backgrounds - go ahead and download file, it will be transparent as it should be once opened in SBC+).
You mentioned in your NOTE: "some images will appear to have solid black backgrounds..." mine continued to be a black background even after it was imported into SBC+.
This is frustrating as it is happening on all of these embellishments that I'm trying to import. I think it might have something to do with they are "bitmap" files and not "png" files... let me know please.

Hi there.
It does appear as if there is an issue with this particular file - we will look into it and correct it.
Which other files are you having issues with? I just clicked through a number of the freebies, and there seems to be no issues with any others. Can you specify which others you've had issues with?

One other comment - are you using AOL to download these? Here's what we say on our FAQ page regarding this issue:
We've heard from several of you that you are having issues with the .png files coming up as .bmp files when you attempt to download them. If you are using AOL, you will need to switch over to using Internet Explorer to download the freebies. For some reason, AOL does not allow you to download transparent .png files.
Additionally, you might try right clicking on the larger image (in the pop up window), choose "View image", then right click the image that pops up.
Let me know if one of these methods doesn't fix your issues.

We have updated the freebie image file - hopefully that will help in this case. Other problems you may be experiencing could be (and likely are) due to the internet explorer version you are using. please see this posting for more details: http://projectcenter.creativememories.com/digital/2009/04/notice-if-you-are-having-troubles-downloading-freebies.html
Thanks!
