POSTCARDS (Activision) - TURN YOUR COMPUTER INTO A WACKY POSTCARD MAKER - You've probably used your Apple GS computer for a lot of different things. For work or homework. For organizing home business information. For games. Maybe even for creating other types of letters or cards. But you've probably never used your micro to create anything as wacky (and fun!) as the kinds of things you'll create with POSTCARDS. POSTCARDS gives you everything you need to create you own original, far-out postcards. For starters, you get the craziest assortment of creative clipart ever compiled. There's a bikini-clad warthog. A platypus. A UFO. The Mona Lisa. Insects of all sizes and scariness. And scads more. Then, you get a wide array of postcard backgrounds. Like a beach, farm, desert, cityscape, and even a moonscape. So you can mix and match the most ridiculously unique combinations. Put a one-eyed, three-antennaed alien at a busy downtown penguin crossing. Or show a giant tarantula crawling out from behind an erupting volcano. There are thousands of possible possibilities. Plus, POSTCARDS comes with catchy captions as well as clipart alphabets, for your own writing. It only takes about five minutes to make your first postcard. SIX EASY STEPS TO MAKING A POSTCARD Utilizing a GS paint program , like PaintWorks Plus, its as easy as cut, paste, and print. 1. PICK OUT THE SCENE.
