Merry Christmas from Paradise Valley and the Coyote Clan! Every year for our Christmas card, we try to do something unique. We always end up with a homemade card that costs 10x more than a nice store-bought one. This year was no exception, burning through any number of expensive HP ink cartridges. I used a neat free program called Andrea Mosaic that creates a photo mosaic of any picture you choose using a folder full of secondary pictures used as the tiles. This is a very easy project with the free software and I have found it a sure-fire way to impress people. Nothing a geek loves more than the reaction of "How did you do that?"
Also, I think I set the record for most pictures of my kids included in a single Christmas card, with something like 300 in this mosaic.
Update: Actually, I see that this is an older version, since I can see side-by-side picture repeats in the mosaic and in a later version I learned to make the program not do this, but you get the idea.
