Can you post the file you are having problems with so we can help figure it out.

Also please say which version of SCAL and/or Inkscape and on what computer OS you used since it does make a difference as to who/whom can help you. Someone for sure will.

If you need help in how to post the file see this post.

I'll be around tonight if you get to it.

Cheers

My first card was the words THANK YOU with a flower on it :)

Keep it all very simple at first till you get the hang of things, and most important "have fun"....
Oh, and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

WOW, you picked a GREAT design and are doing EXCELLENT.

I just went to the top of SCAL, to OBJECT, and then clicked "ungroup". Then I clicked on the card and used mouse right click to go copy and then paste to a second page. Then, I did the ungroup thing again for the rest of the image and used rotation key in the long Properties box to turn them.

Here you go. Hope it helps you. You are doing much better than I was in the beginning :)

hmmm...I thought you would just glue it on the mat you made and glue the mat on the folded card...sorry, I did not know.

Let me think about this for a bit. Back soon.

EXCELLENT! Now what is the specific problem you want solved? I see that you will have a lot of pieces cut out is that that you want?

I got in late to other posts so I may have an idea for you or others will also.

i want the natativity to be welded with the card, so ultimately the only thing that will be cut out and thrown away would be the background of the natativity scene, which would just be the sky.
