Carol,
For print you should use vector graphics.
These mainatin high quality and are resizable.
Use a drawing program rather than a paint program.
Output the end result as a postscript file, rather
than a bitmap (raster) such as the *.gif you used.
Some drawing progs are:
Macromedia Freehand
Adobe Illustrator
Corel Draw
Hope that helps.
