One of the surprises I experienced was how much Smilebox offered to consumers who did not sign up for all the bells and whistles. I was able to make a creative slideshow for a dear friend, having plenty of selections to choose from. It saves your design and gives you the option to send it digitally, all for Free. Upgrading to full access gives you more than you can imagine for a very reasonable annual fee. Someday, I hope to be able to have full access but for now, I'm very happy with the basics. Thank you, Smilebox!
