I made these png file clip art letters to go with my Hollywood Stars theme that I will be using in my classroom this August. After finishing the file, I thought I'd share it with you! This is NOT a font. It is a clip art set of letters that you use just like any other picture, layering and sizing it to suit your needs. The background is red with stars and dots, and matches one of the backgrounds used in my Hollywood Madness class decor theme. With this set you get: 26 letters - all capital. No lowercase. 10 digits - 0 to 9 A sample powerpoint file with instructions for how to make these letters larger or smaller in powerpoint, and sample slides with my door title "THIRD GRADE STARS" already laid out in aprx. a 4 inch size. Feedback is appreciated. This is my first attempt at png files, so I'd love to know how they work for others on different systems & programs than mine! Looking for the matching classroom decor?
