2. TopTenReviews.com

The Print Shop Deluxe gets top ranking among "print creativity" software for fun home projects and ranks second for greeting cards -- with high ratings on all counts: features, image tools, text tools, ease of use and support. The main drawback noted is that to use the excellent tutorials, you have to print them out, since you can't read them and play around with the software at the same time
