Problem: Article: Unfortunately, you can't use Paint to create a transparent image; since icons are usually partially transparent to allow for the desktop to display behind them, this means that your image will both be square and use different colors in the final product than you used to create the icon.  When using Microsoft Paint to create an icon, it's best to stick to black and white as other colors can appear distorted in the final product. One solution to the transparency issue is to save your Paint project as an image (rather than as an icon) and then use an online converter to turn the image into an icon. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Type in paint, then click Paint at the top of the Start window. This will open the Microsoft Paint program in a new window. This will make it easier to draw your icon:  Click the View tab at the top of the window. Check the "Gridlines" box in the "Show or hide" section of the toolbar. Click the Home tab to return to the main Paint screen. It's in the toolbar at the top of the Paint window. Doing so prompts a pop-up window to appear. This is near the top of the pop-up window. It's near the middle of the window. If your previous canvas size was not square, unchecking this will allow you to create a new canvas size that is the same length on all sides. Type 32 into the "Horizontal" text box. Then type 32 into the "Vertical" text box and click OK at the bottom of the window. Since the 32-by-32 canvas is too small to work on, click seven times the + icon in the lower-right side of the Paint window. This will zoom all the way in on your canvas. Select a color from the top-right side of the window, then click and drag across your canvas to create your icon. If necessary, you can change your brush size by clicking the Size option in the toolbar and then clicking the correct thickness in the drop-down menu. If you want to convert the icon later, just click File, click Save, select a save location, and click Save; otherwise, to save the image as an icon file, do the following:  Click File. Select Save as, then click Other formats in the pop-out menu. Type in whatever you want to name your icon followed by .ico (e.g., a Word icon which is named "Word alternate" would be "Word alternate.ico"). Click the "Save as type" drop-down box, then click 256 Color Bitmap in the drop-down box. Select a save location on the left side of the window. Click Save, then click OK when prompted. If you saved your Paint image as an image file (e.g., a PNG or a JPEG), you can convert it into an icon by using the free ICO Convert website:  Go to http://icoconvert.com/ in your computer's web browser. Click Choose file. Select your Paint JPEG, then click Open. Click Upload. Crop your image as needed, then scroll down and click Select None. Scroll all the way down and click Convert ICO. Click the Download your icon(s) link when it appears. . Once you've saved the icon, you're free to assign it to a shortcut on your computer.
Summary: Understand Microsoft Paint's limitations. Open Start . Open Paint. Enable gridlines. Click Resize. Check the "Pixels" box. Uncheck the "Maintain aspect ratio" box. Set the canvas size to 32-by-32. Zoom all the way in. Draw your icon. Save your icon. Convert an image file into an icon. Use your icon as a shortcut

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Children don’t need super elaborate setups to have fun. Even very simple and minimalistic decorations can act as catalysts for their imagination. Refer to the research you did in the beginning stages of planning this party in order to remember all the brainstorming you did when you get to cutting and pasting. It can be easy to get carried away and break the budget when shopping for this part of the party. Find fun pictures online that have to do with the theme and print out color versions. Then cut them out and glue the streamer material onto its edges to form a kind of frame. You can either put these directly on your walls using mounting putty or attach string to them and hang them from the ceiling. This way you can reinforce the theme while giving the kids fun things to look at and do it all at little cost. The best kind of décor is the kind your child can run around in. Dressing them up will make their day feel even more special and their imagination will be able to go wild. Though a costume will be more strain on the budget, it can also be used at Halloween and at other parties. Even if buying one means foregoing other items, you’ll get a lot more use out of it than any other decoration you may buy for the party.  Making a costume is a great option as well. It’s easy to run them off walls, over lights, and across doorframes. You can also hang them vertically to hide pictures or other items in the house to reinforce the theme. Streamers are a great option for dressing up the house for cheap.

SUMMARY: Stay on the simple side. Print out images. Get a costume. Use streamers.
