    Default Diamonds and Pearls - Banner

    All the diamonds being drawn on Xara Xone, reminded me that I did a banner for a friend's father's 60th birthday, a short while back.

    The banner was 6' 6" long (nearly 2 Meters), and my friend got it printed on canvas/cloth to hang up.
    The result came out pretty good, but sadly, I only saw pictures of it!

    Tasty. 60! I have vague memories of being 60 once.

    Bling, bling! The diamonds look very realistic, the gold too by the way.

    I have vague memories period.

    Very convincing gold, Rik.

    I think it came out pretty good, Rik. The sparkles give it the right touch.

    Thanks, Paul, Gary, Boy, Bob and Ron.

    I did two diamonds.
    When made small enough to fit in between the two gold rings, they looked reasonably convincing.
