Dee Jones
People always seem to appreciate receiving greeting cards, whether they were brought at a store, or made by hand. But, when you really take the time to choose or make a greeting card that's really interesting and unique, it becomes a treasured keepsake to the person you gave it to.

Giving someone an animated photo slide show instead of a traditional greeting card is one way to help make their birthday or anniversary even more special.

Flash Slideshow Maker is a program that can help you create amazing animated slideshow greeting cards. And you can do it for free.

The Low Down on Flash Slideshow Maker

Flash Slideshow Maker is a program that will help you quickly and easily create animated photo slideshows. With just a little prep work (like putting the images you want to use in one folder) you can make your slideshow greeting card in three quick and easy steps. And there are dozens of themed templates to help you make your slideshow greeting card fun and attractive.

Using the Wizard in Flash Slideshow Maker

In Flash Slideshow Maker, a wizard takes you through the simple process of creating your animated photo slideshow.

In step one, you add photos to your project. This is easier if you move all of the images you want to use to one folder before you get started.

In step two, you choose a theme for your slideshow greeting card. There are dozens of themes to choose from, including themes for special occasions, including Christmas, Easter, New Years, Graduation, Valentines Day and Thanksgiving.

In step three, you create your slideshow.

Sounds pretty easy, doesn't it?

Sharing Your Slideshow Greeting Card

There are many ways to share your slideshow greeting card.

You can post it on a website, then tell the recipient of your greeting card that there's a website that they just have to check out. When they open the web page, they'll receive a pleasant surprise.

If you don't have a website, and don't want to pay for web hosting, you can upload your slideshow greeting card to a free service like Blogger, and create a simple, one-page blog for just this occasion.

You can burn your slideshow greeting card onto a gift CD, something you can give by hand.

You can also send your greeting card by email. As long as the person you are sending it to has a flash player (like Micromedia Flash Player) installed on their computer, they can enjoy their slideshow greeting card.

Giving traditional greeting cards will never go out of style. But a slideshow greeting card is a great alternative. And you can make them quickly and easily with Flash Slideshow Maker.
