Pat, I would also recommend purchasing Photoshop. There are a lot of freeware programs out there, but I haven't found any that I like as much as Photoshop. I used to create covers in paint (back in the day), but ever since I got photoshop, things have been so much easier. I constantly learn new tricks too. Its a cool app. I am running an older version 6.0, I am sure they have made it even cooler since then.
Again... glad you like the covers, let me know if you have any other suggestions
