I don’t think they all look the same!! I actually look all around at them and wonder how you did ‘this and that’ - because I’ve never made pretty graphics like that!
When I started out I had Windows XP with Picture It and I used that and bought Jasc Animation Shop. Just started cutting out bits and pieces of things and rearranging them to create my animations.
My newest computer is Windows7 and when I found out that Picture It wouldn’t work in Win7 I actually shed tears. I have Adobe Photoshop Elements and Corel Painter Essentials but have never fooled much with them.
Thanks for your kind words! (HUGS)
