License Terms for Downloadable Graphics

TL;DR? Thanks for liking my art! You can totally use the graphics you just got as part of *one* larger a commercial project like some wedding invites or a book cover. More than one project? You'll need to buy a new license for each new project. You can't reuse my graphics with little or no editing, and you can't transfer this license to anyone else. If you wanna know the full details, read below!
