little details to answer your questions...

... for those inquiring - the bird silhouette pictures from previous post are here (for the bird and branches picture) and unfortunately I cannot find where I found the single bird (this site has one very similar) though there are thousands and thousands of bird images - if you simple look on Google images - advance image search, and type in 'bird silhouette .

I put the image into the paint program and enlarged it. I also changed the picture a little as I went (avoiding direct plagiarism) - making edges slightly rounder, etc. to make it easier to cut out. You could also have image enlarged at photocopy shop.

Birds silhouettes cut out of various bright papers also look great - if you wanted a picture to put inside a frame. Have also seen bird silhouettes cut out of paper and attached to plates and hung on a wall - nice (though my hubby feels plates are for eating from not for hanging :)
