Dingbat Silhouette Card trying again...

Here's a card I made using my Cricut and the Sure-Cuts-A-Lot software. I cut the silhouette from a free dingbat font I got online. It's great having hundreds of free dingbat shapes to cut with this software! Because of the detail, I made this card about 5x7". I cut the shape out of black card stock, layered it onto decorative paper and then I added some glitter and embellishments. Hope you like it!

P.S. Can anyone tell me why my picture comes up soooooo big?

That's really nice.
Did you try to resize it? Some people resize using their photo software but I use an online program at
http://www.flickr.com Just upload it, select all sizes and I usually use the medium size. Resave it over your original and it'll post smaller.

Thanks for your nice comments and the tip on resizing! I thought that might be necessary and I'll give it a try.
The dingbat is from fontspace.com. It is called silhouse-oldfashion. Some of the other ones are really nice too!
