Yeah, Tom, I think they're great fun as well. The possibilities seem endless!

Hello Frances,

Re: "Of course I just had to do this one"

If I had to guess which one you might do, you did it.

When I did the Rainbow one above, I thought of just making the rainbow lettering (with coloring) and then use the Mould tool to get the arched shape. That messed up the coloring of the letters. Then, I tried making the rainbow letters and have the text follow a curve. That too didn't quite get what I wanted. What I ended up doing was getting the lettering (black) the right shape and then applying a blend to two lines to produce the correct coloring. In Xara, sometimes there are several ways to do things... the correct way and the first two attempts.

I like the flowers, they look festive and growing. Fall is around the corner.

Peace

James
