Wow that was fast, really fast.
Thanks Gary, these are helpful, but they don't have the one thing I need. When we pasted back from that little program SLBlur, How the heck did we get that background to go away. I remember after I did that tutorial, I must have made a hundred different designs using the techniques in that tutorial. You also had a Logo on the graphics.com site that looked like "candy" for lack of a better word, that I just loved.
Half the fun using Xara is figuring out how to create something you see in your minds eye, so I'll keep plugging away.
