Okay...it does look like the pic you showed on the link Steve...but how big are the bugs you are seeing Kat?

The background of the bug is my kitchen curtain, the bug is only 4 stitches long and 3 stitches wide. They are a little smaller than a ladybug, that's why I thought that's what it was. They are shaped the same too, just different colors.

Hmmm...I don't know. The carpet beetles that I find are usually very tiny...like I said, not much bigger than a pin head...and usually when you find them, they are dead...I read some thing that you are actually finding their outer shell or something...they shed it or they go through stages like a butterfly from larvae to pupae to adult or something...I don't know what I'm talking about...but they are usually little shell things that you find...or they are still alive and crawl but they are so tiny you can't really see colors on them. Curtains would be a place to find them though...they eat material. If you have them, you want to get rid of them. The darn things have been eating my clothes. I just read an article about diatomaceous earth as being the best product to get rid of them...it's organic and won't harm other animals or children...you put it in your closets and around baseboards and it gets rid of them.

Marnie,

Looking at the link provided by chris-uk it might be better for you to download that program as it is much more up-to-date then what I would be sending you.
I'm sure its features are far better then what my old software could offer.
It also comes with the "Chris" seal of approval which makes it even more valuable.

But would it have tools like changing backgrounds and things like that? I know that I had an old photoshop program many years ago that had a lot of features I really liked. Hmmm...let me download it and see what it's like...and I will let you guys know what I think. . Thanks so much for all the help!

Good to hear you are on the mend.

Hey Mike...I was wondering about you. Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. Glad you are starting to get better.

Chris...I tried to download the pic editing thing you gave me a link for...and it didn't work, I just ended up with some toolbar.
