Tips & Warnings

• It's a good idea to create a folder on your hard drive to store your Hanukkah graphics in before you download them. Of course, you can create this folder just before the final save of the graphic to your computer, but doing so beforehand saves this extra step.
• If you are not computer savvy, you may consider buying a CD of Hanukkah graphics at Amazon.com or another online book store.
• Whenever you download graphics from the Internet, make sure they are royalty free and that you have the right to use them. This is especially important if you intend to download Hanukkah graphics for print or electronic publication, as you can infringe upon copyrights if you aren't careful.
