<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This Happy Snowmen Trio comes in 2 sizes for printing. One is 8-1/2”x11”. The other is scaled to fit 30.5” wide x 25” tall and uses 9 sheets of copy paper. Just line up each page in sequence and tape the pages together. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>To print your pattern</strong>, open the file using Acrobat Reader. There is the option to “fit ” or “print actual size.” I prefer “fit” because it will print the light gray outline around each sheet and that helps a lot when lining the pages up. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some printers also have a “poster print” setting which allows you to vary the size or your pattern. If you plan to use this setting you will want to use the smaller 8.5”x11” pattern.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "italic";"><span style="font-size: large;">I have been painting windows for nearly 30 years. I was always fascinated by other window painters and jumped at the chance to paint business windows for friends and family.</span> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As my painting skills grew, so did my business. It eventually became a year round business in our small town of Wenatchee in central Washington.<br /><br />I recently retired from window painting and now I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned about this fun art form with anyone who asks.</span><br />
