What I did: I used Microsoft Publisher 2007.

I worked with a blank A4 portrait template.

I clicked on insert, clicked on text box from pull down menu. I made the text box 4 1/2 x 11 on the left side.

I clicked on insert, clicked on picture from pull down menu, clicked on from file from next pop up menu. I found the file I saved and clicked on the sentiment I wanted from the caterpillar swing file and clicked on insert. I then moved it and sized it from the sides and corners to the bottom left corner. I clicked on print preview to make sure it was what I wanted.

So not to waste paper I repeated the last step by to retrieve the caterpillar image and placed it on the unused top right corner. Then printed. I cut the card to 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 and folded in half so the sentiment was on the front in the right bottom corner.

I used my coud template to sponge clouds all over the front of card. Then I cut another piece from the same paper to 1 3/4 x 2 3/4. I sponged it with clouds as well and adhered to paper with dimensionals. I colored my caterpillar and cut out then adhered with dimensionals to the piece I just put on the card. Pretty simple.
