Thanks handrawn that link should help. Don't know for sure but it should.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
Wizard, which program did you use to get this effect? Is it Xara 3d Maker or one of the ones suggested above.

I think I got it. Just a few questions. It's in 3D. How do I get it to look like Wizard's example and how to I put it into my PNG?
ok post up what you have done so far and we can see what else needs doing
BuyandSell2.X3D I think this is it. I just want to know how to add it to my card. (The last thing I uploaded).
it is still a question of masking out the original text with the new text
as I don't have the program I cannot open the file, but hopefully Larry, or someone else who has will and point you in the right direction
meanwhile in principle:
you save from xara 3d as a png - it should have a white background by default
you open both your card and your png in gimp
you copy/paste your text in gimp to the card document so you can position it over the card - if the white background is not sufficient to cover original text you will need to put a white rectangle [or other shape as appropriate] between the card and the text to complete the masking out
almost certainly the text will not be the right size - you can adjust this in xara 3D on the info bar at the top, increasing the point size increases the size of the text - it should be bigger in gimp so you can reduce it there to fit exactly - not smaller because increasing it's size in gimp will not work so well [if you are really lucky it will fit first time... but]
that's about as much help as I can give as I don't have the programs
good luck
Thanks for your help. You got me this far and I really appreciate what you've done. When I go to, save as, I can only save it as Xara3D(*x3d). How do I save it as a PNG?
sorry that should have been 'export' - there is a difference [at least in these programs]
saving saves your work [as x3d] - export just copies it out in a different format...
