Bonnie, are you thinking for the furries? If yes, paper might be tough. I was going to say a sheet, but those do wrinkle easily. What about a jersey sheet...I wonder if those wrinkle as easy?

Another thing...if you have an Ikea near you, maybe check out the curtain area - they have huge curtains for good prices and those may work.

I hadn't thought of felt - that's a good idea! I'm going to the fabric store after work so I'll look at the felt, too. I was hoping fleece would work well, because my fabric store has some animal prints that I think would be so cute in pics. I love animal prints. But the felt would probably work just as well for solid backgrounds like the soft pink I love, and it's cheaper! I like that!! And I just saw someone else's pics where they're using a gorgeous shiny satiny material for their background.

Ann, I am thinking of these for the munchkins. I saw some pics MaryKay took of her gorgeous trio and asked her about the background she used for them. That's when I learned about paper backdrops. I did wonder how they'd hold up with my rowdy crew - somehow I get the idea that hers pose much more nicely for pics than mine.

There's no Ikea anywhere near me. Hopefully, this will give me enough to keep the gang busy for some time! I'm not very creatively talented and I always need help thinking up ideas. Thanks!!
