Saving - small images, help!

[doa24uk]

Hi guys,

I am totally new to illustrator & here is my problem. I am trying to save a graphic for use on cafepress.com but when I 'Save for Web' the graphic is always surrounded by far too much transparent 'whitespace' therefore it is impossible to use on CP.com because the graphic isn't big enough.

Even if I resize the graphics it still just adds more and more transparent space around the image.

I'm using Illustrator CS3 13.0.0 and it is an .eps file in CMYK/Preview format..

Help!!!!

Create a crop mark to define the area that you want to save by surrounding the art with a rectangle then going to Object - Crop Area - Make.
