Like the Internet Homepage Material Collection and A Collection of Materials to SENSE UP your Homepage disks we've looked at before, CDs full of resources intended for personal creative projects tend to be great places to find some really good images...

The front of the CD for Super New Year's Cards 2006

...And Super New Year's Cards 2006 is no exception!

This CD came bundled with a 140+ page magazine from 2005 that was themed around making a New Year's Card for the upcoming Year of the Dog.

That's right! It's all dogs!

I looked through over 1600 images on the bundled Super New Year's Cards 2006 CD, and I humbly offer you a few of my favourite to scroll through...

Dog Illustrations

Starting off strong, we have two folders full of Dog Illustrations:



As a huge lover of 2000s 3D art, I couldn't ignore the amazing 3D digital creations that Super New Year's Cards 2006 wants us to use for our New Year's cards:

Are you seeing these??

A dog plane... A dog car... Floating round dogs!! All of these are so, so good.

But there're more 3D dogs to be seen:

Look at these!!! Absolute peak dog design going on here. The two families, united over Ball...

This toy like, fuzzy clay style is so cute!! It reminds me of Sylvanian Families... Ahh I wan't to go to their world... Take me there, Super New Year's Cards 2006...

What a nice illustration style! There were quite a few like this and I like them all, so I'll share some more:

That little puppy with the daruma...! The one with the ball...! I'm so glad I can just post these images for you guys to see them, I can almost guarantee it's way better for you to look at these right now than basically any other website.

Another really charming illustration style! The corgis.. So lovely and nice. Thank you for the dog illustrations, Super New Year's Cards 2006.

Dog Photos

But there's not just illustrations! Of course we have to look at some of the photos of dogs included on Super New Year's Cards 2006.


I love transparent photo images because the uses feel infinite, but also just looking at high quality transparent pngs is so satisfying some how:

That's dogs!!!

Oh, can't forget these ones, the ones that made me laugh:

That laying down one... Yes, I will put that on my New Year's Card!

Dog Frames

Since New Year's Cards are often a good way to update others on you and your family, it makes sense that you might include a photo of you all in there - why not put a dog themed frame around that lovely family photo?


Why not one of these?



Or maybe one of these? (the snowman gets to be here because it's Winter, and nobody could tell them they weren't invited to the dog themed magazine)

There's also a selection of images with a space cut out for a face, which are a high form of comedy to me personally:


Look at these amazing and useful images:

The snowman is here again, and he brought his 2005 iPod! You can put your face in the middle of the scroll wheel if you like:

Dog Cards

Over 1600 dog themed images too hard to choose from? Why not just pick one of the pre-designed New Year's cards - might I suggest one of these?

I'm so happy to see that 3D dog on the bottom left there show up again...

And another star has returned!


So good!!!

Happy New Year (2006) everyone! Looks like the next Year of the Dog is in 2030, so you might wanna bookmark this page to remember so you can use these in the future.
