Steve,
I have vector frames, but they are only basic colors. All the frames I draw are vector as well. I also like using colors from the environment.

Use a wood fill and bevels.

Just to be pedantic (because I can Using bitmap fills means they are not 'vector' frames, which was th OP's focus.
Of course, most of those supplied in Xtreme are not strictly vector either.
But let's not blur the lines. Keeping the distinction between vector and raster clear in your mind is very important in your workflow, especially where your work is going to end up at a print house.

I think this is pure vector. I have had a couple of disk for many years. The EPS files that I have open in Xara. I don't know if the drawings have changed. I believe the ones I have are a version 3 Illustrator type. As I said it has been a long time.

Using just 2 characters from the AGA Arabesque Desktop dingbat font, and the same processes as outlined in post #2 I came up with this.
Plenty of other free dingbat fonts out there to experiment with. I know the picture doesn't suit the frame, but I'm not Vincent.
Saludos,
Bob.
