ISO Dinosaur kits!

[kelleighr]

I'm looking for a great, colorful dinosaur kit that has ACCURATE (not too cartoon-ish - big heads and all that) dinosaurs (not dragons) for my almost 5-year-old son's dinosaur-themed birthday party invites (so, no baby stuff). Do we have anything like that here at TDC? Where should I look?

it's in my shop at TLP if you're interested at all!

Kelleigh,

microsoft.com has a lot of dinosaurs in their clipart section HERE (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/clipart/results.aspx?qu=dinosaur&sc=20). I use photoshop and I've found that if you import the clipart into word like the directions say, open a new word document and insert your clipart into your document, you can then copy and paste it into photoshop, you could then delete any coloring using the magic wand tool and recolor with cool brushes and your colors - or using the magic wand tool, hight light a certain color, create a new layer, dump it with paint, then drag some sb paper in and create a clipping mask, add drop shadows and you've got paper piecing! How much time do you have on this? If you've got til early next week, I might be able to put together some paper pieced dinosaurs using some of TDC's papers with designers permission...let me know if you want help!

Thanks so much ladies! I think I have it figured out. I bought an awesome, realistic dinosaur brush and I'm using Tiki tiki boom boom by Amanda Heimann and Heather Roselli. The colors are perfect and Amanda's papers print out SO nicely! My son likes it, so I think I'm gonna go with it. (Plus, I don't have any more time to mess with it! Need to get them in the mail!)
