Calling all Du Compter savy people (Sprites)

I have a new screen saver program to make screen savers. One of the ways to make a screen saver is sprite based. Where can I find sprite images on the internet? I have searches google to no avail. Maybe I am not doing a correct search. Any & all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

1. A sprite is just an image

JPEGs, GIFs, PNGs, all are sprites.

2. Maybe I said waht I wanted to say wrong.

A sprite is a image not all images are equal. Example I have a image of a beach with people on it playing vollyball. I only want the vollyball.

Does this make sense?

3. So you want to cut out the part you want

and put a mask around it so it is not rectangular?

5. Yes, there are

but it is difficult to tell which ones they are - by a google image search, anyway. Because a masked image appears the same as one with a white background.

At least you can ignore any JPEG image, because JPEGs don't support masks. Mostly you will be looking for GIFs and PNGs only.

7. Probably you want to search for some free clip-art

That may be better.
