This product was much nicer than I ever thought it would be. It has great images and unlike most low priced clip art I buy, it actually comes with a book showing you all the images printed out! I did nto expect it but it's great! I did have a question about how to use a particular image but the call was answered quickly by Nova and they even showed me how to edit the image to make it work for me even better! Very very pleased, especially with the price!

This clip art collection is a great one. Tons of outstanding graphics for holidays, birthdays and other occasions. And it's good quality stuff, too. I have a small graphic design business, and I've put the illustrations to good use.

Also of note, the claim by another reviewer that it's incompatible with Adobe Illustrator is simply untrue. I use it with Illustrator v. 11.0, and it works like a charm. Illustrator does indeed import WMF files, though there's a strange bug in Illustrator whereby you have to select "WMF" from the dropdown list instead of "All Files." I hope this helps.

This is a great collection of clip art. I read a prior review that it was not functional with other programs, which is incorrect. The images are .wmf, .jpg, .gif and .tif, so the reviewer looks like he/she has a problem with Nova and not the product itself.

I have called Nova for customer service in the past for a probelm I was having and they were very responsive and were able to solve my problem. It turns out I had created my own problem and they helped me fix it. Thanks Nova!

The clip art you get with this package is very good. I bought it for clip art that I could use for my engagement/wedding announcements, "Save the date" Magnets, Invitations, ect. For these purposes, the clip art was exceptional. The Catalogue sent with the program is a wonderful addition and is a definate plus. However, the pictures are where I felt the program makers let the customer down. There are only 5 categories of pictures. Three of those categories are religious. The other two categories are seasons and holidays, both of which are well stocked with great photos. If you are looking for A LOT of religious photos as well as,again, an excellent collection of clip art, this is your product. If you just want the clip art, again, this is your product. However, if you are buying it for the pictures and expect any sort of variety, do not buy this product.

This will be the second year using this clipart for my seasonal cards and projects. I have even given members of my sewing club copies of this. This really gives you the ability to make great looking holiday cards.
There is a large number of categories included in this image library, including some unlikely ones. There are images for: Super Bowl Sunday, Kwanzaa, St. Patrick's Day, Graduations, BBQ's & Picnics, Back-to-school, and many, many more!

Last year my mother let me borrow this software to create holiday greeting cards to mail to friends, family, and business contacts. This holiday season I bought myself a copy. I did not know how to install the disc so I called tech support. They kindly held my hand while I downloaded it to my computer. They explained that these images can be used in almost every type of software imaginable (greeting card, label, scrapbook, and word processing was a few examples I was given). No holiday has been forgotten in this image library. It does not matter what faith you follow, you will find professional quality images in this software

While I realize our experiences with a company's customer service varies, I just want to echo another user's complaints with Nova. I have Their Seasons, Events, etc. software in addition to their Greeting Card and Business Card packages and found their suport to be quite terrible. It took multiple emails and numerous excuses (operating system corrupted, OS not designed well, etc.) before admitting their software was at fault. But, the price is right at $0.00 - a penny more is a penny too much, IMHO

I have had this program for years. You have to use the Disk to access the clip art. Somehow the disk became broken, I mean really broken with a chunk taken out, no one will confess to breaking it.

I reordered a program as I found I couldn't do without it. It's simple and easy to use. The book that comes with it lets you browse through the clip art quickly and find what you need. This clip are will work with most any program I have. It's simple little clip art but that's what I need 99% of the time and there's lots of it. I highly recommend it.

I'm a graphic designer who does wedding invitations and stationery, birth announcements, etc. I bought this based on the user's review that said it was great for that stuff. Boy, was I disappointed. These clip art images look like something a first-grader would use! They are poor quality, useless cartoon images that I would not even dream of using on any of my designs. Perhaps the fact that I use Windows XP had something to do with it, but I did check with the manufacturer before purchasing and I was assured that it would even work with Vista. At any rate, I was so horrified by the clip art that I didn't even bother to look at the photos. Thank God I bought this used - still, there's $7 I'll never see again.

NOVA Corp. lists system & programs that are compatable, i.e. Windows XP and Adobe Illustrator. Product will not open. NOVA's customer service is unwilling to address the problem, or offer any solutions, so BEWARE! The product apparently is not capable of working within the systems and programs listed, and as I have been told "It isn't thier problem"
