I have been attempting to use downloaded elements from this site. I've given up on the zipped files for now until I get more familiar with what I'm trying to do. But all the other elements, that give the instructions to "right click to save as" are downloaded into my designated folder with a background that will not go away. I also cannot separate the multiple elements in one download, such as the metal brads, or grommets. I know it's hard dealing with such a newbie, but I promise to help pass on the info when I learn what I'm doing wrong! Thanks.

I use photoshop and illustrator, but I found these:

HTH- I know how frustrating it can be when you know what you want to do, but you CAN'T

I appreciate all the info guys! This should keep me busy for a while. I'm sure I'll be back soon though!

First of all, I just want to thank you guys for helping a newbie out! My layouts at this time are very simple, but with your help I can now use BOTH the zipped and "right click to save as" elements. Frustration has turned to joy, and I cannot believe the different type of things that are available here. Thank you so much. Again, thank you - thank you - thank you!
