Glad you like it! I looked at all fish websites I could find of my objects and picked the largest jpg's and saved them to a file. Then I printed them out on plain paper to see how they'd look, then got printable cloth paper from a craft store, made sure I had enough ink in my printer and sized them to whatever I needed and then printed. I used double sided fusing and didn't turn the edges but I used a satin stitch around everything. I know this is more info thaqn what you wanted but it might help.
