Birthday Cards!!! Send out your Best Wishes Today

 For Heroes Rising's second birthday celebration, 

a Birthday Card Generator has been added to the Main Page of the game. If you choose to select the button on the Main Page, you will be taken to a drawing tool that will allow you to create a birthday card to send to other players.

The drawing tool offers basic effects, such as line-drawing, spray, text, erase, and flood-fill. A full variety of colors are available to use, as well as brushes with sizes from 1 to 100 pixels. You don't need to be a master artist to make use of this program, but with a little practice, you can create a variety of cards to celebrate the event. There are some helpful hints that can aid you in making your cards.                                                                                  1) If using a laptop, you can increase your screen size to make the page larger and easier to see and create on.          2) The Red Undo/Redo buttons help control mistakes.        3) Saving your work with the Save button does not publish your efforts, but it does make it easier to recall work if you need to start over.

If you would like to make a simple card, here are a few easy steps to create one that you can be proud to share.

1) Select Color Fill and a Color that you like. Instead of trying to color the entire page with lines or spray efforts, the color fill can do it all in one step. If you would like a nice gradient effect, use the spray tool to add additional colors afterward.

2) Once you have your background color selected, use the TEXT tool to add your message. Use colors that show up clearly on the background color you chose. You can vary the TEXT message colors and size by altering the colors chosen and the Pixel size. Place the cursor on the lower left corner where you would like the TEXT message to appear.

3) Add some flair. A cute message, a simple or elaborate design based on your skill level. For birthday cards, elaborate and fancy isn't necessarily the best route. Heartfelt and honest will get your far. Use themes that tie to your character, the Superhero Genre, or Heroes Rising to add some extra "ooomph" to the birthday card other players can find.

Have fun while exploring your options. You might surprise yourself with your efforts. If you come up with something extra special, be sure to share it on the Heroes Rising Players page for others to appreciate. Best of luck. I can't wait to see what cards I find.
