From the Wedding cartridge, the shapes and phrases that are included are a bride and groom, “I love you,” wedding rings, and crossed champagne glasses. Other occasion-inspired phrases and shapes include “Happy Anniversary,” “love,” “It’s a Boy,” “It’s a Girl,” “Baby Shower,” “You’re Invited,” “Happy Birthday,” lips, hearts, diaper pins, baby feet, baby carriages, Christmas trees, snowmen, sleds, presents, party hats, balloons, reindeer, jack-o’-lanterns, and spiders. There are also quite a few sports-themed shapes and phrases, like pennants, baseball bats, baseballs, “All Star,” and “Our Team.” Some rock music-inspired shapes, such as skull and crossbones and electric guitars, can be found on the cartridge as well. Besides these, Potpourri Basket also contains miscellaneous generic shapes, such as envelopes, crowns, flowers, leaves, borders, butterflies, fish, fruits, snowflake patterns, fishing rods, nets for catching insects, bonfires, tents, cameras, skylines, crayons, pencils, school buses, stop signs, anchors, ships, bags, luggage tags, airplanes, and card templates. Aside from these shapes, Potpourri Basket also offers phrases like “Thank You” and its variations in Spanish and French as well as various words, such as “joy,” “peace,” “dream,” “home,” and “family.”
Since this cartridge is a compilation of numerous shapes from other cartridges, Potpourri Basket has different creative features per collection. The most common creative features among all these collections are Shadow and Bonus. The Shadow feature is used to highlight and make a shape stand out by adding a thicker base around it. The Bonus feature refers to bonus phrases or shapes that correspond to each key on the keyboard. Note that these bonus graphics normally are unrelated to the shapes from the collections themselves, so this feature actually gives you more shape options per collection instead of you being restricted to just the collection you choose to work with.
