I am trying to design a baby shower invitation using baby blocks. I want to
use the letters in the baby's name in the blocks instead of the given ones.
How can I download "blank" baby blocks and fill them in myself? Thank you
very much.

If you have access to any simple drawing program, you might be better off to
design the 'baby's name in blocks' part of the invite there, then import the
picture and do the rest of the invite in Word.
There are some 'Baby Block' fonts around, but you have to pay for them, and
IMO, they are not very nice...

Actually, just found this one which appears to be free, but haven't looked
too closely...

Have fun!

If you're willing to pay $25 for a baby blocks font, see
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/pixymbols/babyblocks/. Lots of images at
http://images.google.com/images?hl=e...=Search+Images, but
not necessarily any that would be any easier to edit than what you have.

You could download a Baby Block font from
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/fil...id,2120,00.asp and
colour the individual letters as required. Caps produce black on white,
lower case produces white on black. By mingling the case and the colours of
the letters you can produce an interesting effect that might work for you.

The PIXymbols ones are definitely the nicest.

Use this search

These are blocks with the letters already filled in, but you can ungroup and
remove the letter and add your own.
