Even the most cynical among us probably harbors a belief in the deep recesses of his mind that the new year will bring reason for new hope. Even though you could argue that it's just another day and the date is arbitrary; it's symbolic of a new start. And that's just the feeling I tried to capture that feeling with this New Year clip art.

Below you'll find images of champagne, confetti, fireworks, party hats and streamers; a bell to ring in the new year; and plenty of messages to wish people a happy New Year. I've even created a batch of images that feature "2009."

All the New Years clip art below was created in the free online graphics application, Picnik. If you'd like to try your hand at making your own clip art in Picnik, check out this make your own clip art tutorial. And if you'd like to learn how make clip art using photos, read this Picnik photo tutorial.

Instructions for Downloading the New Years Clip Art

Choose a small version of any of the New Years clip art above the large images to the right. When you click on one of the images, it will appear larger.

IMPORTANT: Once you've chosen an image and see it larger, double-click on the larger image, which will make the best version of the art appear. Sorry for the extra step, but this will give you the highest quality art.

Then, if you have a PC, just right-click and save the final version of the artwork to your hard drive.

A Note About How to Spell "New Year's Eve" Correctly

Many people spell "New Year's Eve" without the apostrophe ("New Years Eve"), but that's actually incorrect. I've even misspelled it in this page's title, but that was on purpose. Many people come here through search engines, and the majority of them leave out the apostrophe when they enter their search terms. So to make it easier for them to find the page, I've chosen to use the misspelling. (Sorry about this mini spelling tutorial. In my day job I'm an editor, so I can't stand to misspell something on purpose and not say anything!)
