Full Alphabets & Letter Sets

This ever growing collection of images that contain a full set of the alphabet or a group of similarly designed letters could be used for a variety of craft projects. Along with scrapbooking, many of these images could easily be turned into the makings of an embroidery sampler.

With a little cropping, selected letters could also be removed to create drop caps and other effects.
