    I need some help, I have searched the internet, and am at a loss. Does anyone have any good websites for graphic flouishes. I am looking for some non-wedding looking ones, the ones out there are a little to fancy for my taste. Any good ones?

    www.istockphoto.com has a million of them!  The only bad part is it might take you awhile to search through since there are so many!  Good luck!

    Deviantart's got some great free stuff. Most of the artists are okay with their stock being used for personal use, as long as credit is given when due.

    dafont.com has a damask font and I think they have some flourish like fonts, too.

    Stop by any good tattoo shop.  Tell the artist what you are looking for and most will be glad to draw you up some custom pieces for fairly inexpensive, maybe $15-20.  Something like that should take them ten minutes max.

    Then make some copies and transfer to a cd to use as you wish.  

    Just don't get discouraged.  There is a flourish out there as unique as you.

    You can look for 'dings' on sites like dafont.com.  They're kind of like Wingdings, you get a flourish instead of a letter.

    Is this similar to what you're looking for?

    Oooh, this is late but brusheezy.com has photoshop brushes that are FREE and have all kinds of swirlies!

    Pixelsandicecream.com may also have something you're looking for... istockphoto and deviant art are also good for vector images and brushes, but it may take some digging.

    And I second checking out dafont.com, 1001freefonts.com and other free font places for dingbat fonts that have swirls/flourishes.

    Finally, does anyone you know have photoshop/do you? there are a ton of included images, including some swirl type ones. Have them send some to you if you don't have PS! Good luck!
