WPClipart -- can add to search bar on Firefox. Scroll down the page and look for Add "webclipart search to browser" Click on it. Now up in the upper left corner of Firefox you can hold down the little arrow next to the search engine that is there, probably Google, and pull down to WPclipart Search. Type in what picture you are looking for. When the results come up DO NOT go to any of the ADS by Google, but below the line look for WP's images.
