DIY Brides: Finding graphics/borders for programs?!

[PilsnPinkysMom]

Hey ladies!

I have a DIY question. FMIL is making/designing our wedding programs. We received the prototypes today, and they''re fine- but something is missing. I would like to add a little border or a design in the corner. I''d prefer damask or toile or some modern-ish floral flourish (look at any online invite store- there are TONS of wedding invites with similar styles).

But being that these are DIY programs, HOW does on obtain such a graphic? We''ve looked at MS publisher and Word, I''ve looked at free Hallmark and Wilton templates online... I can''t find anything

Is this even possible? Where should I go to find graphics?? Our colors deep red, ivory, dark brown, and gold, if that helps.

What about something like this?

Do you have photoshop? If so there are a ton of free (or really cheap) brushes that you can buy to add a little something extra. That is what I used for the inside parts of our invitations Here For the outside I got the patter from Istockphoto. They might not have what you are looking for though.

Thanks, all.

Jaylex- that was JUST what I was looking for I used the free trial to snag a little flourish & then canceled my subscription... What a FAB site! If I had known that site existed I might have DIYed a *whole* lot more than I did... Or at least what few DIY projects I completed would have looked far more professional than they currently do. Live and learn! Anyway- major thanks!
