[Clipart] Now down to business...

[Jarod Russel]

I think that is a great idea SEb. There are many graphics that are part 
of a set already on OCAL. The set function could also be used if some 
uploaded an outline and another member colorized the outline and 
uploaded it too.

What also comes to mind with this idea is a OCAL version of a blogs 
related posts function. Meaning if I view the clipart of a tiger, I will 
see underneeth the related (Other cliparts you may like) cliparts to the 
one I am viewing.
