Any free alternatives to Copy Doodler?

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering if there's anything like Copy Doodler for free? I remember the copy doodler website used to have free templates to use, but it seems to have gotten pretty expensive since I last visited there. I just need about 5 or so headlines, not much else, in a handwriting-esque format. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

Use Photoshop (not free) or GIMP (free) and draw your own doodles. Save them as transparent GIF, and drop them wherever you want a doodle. This works. I've used it several time.

Can it also be done with Windows Paint or other free/inexpensive software? I would think so as long as the images can be saved as transparent.

:-Don

Edit... I just tried it with Windows Paint, and there is no way to save it transparent in that program.

I did exactly what Don suggested and it works like a charm with the added benefits of being free and having the exact text/colors you want.
