[Clipart] vectormagic

[John Olsen]

They also compared it against Illustrator CS2 not CS3 and the tracing  
in CS3 is much better.  You can see the file size bloat from your  
example and much of it is just redundant drawing.  But at least it is  
easy to fix.  I find Vector Magic most useful in some of its touch up  
tools - nice way of working on an image before rendering especially a  
color one with not as many clean edges as you'd like.

This is one of 10 parts of a mystery picture.  Assemble all the parts  
and return to the assembled picture to me and I'll have a prize for you.
