The background is seamless tile. The object border is a linear tile made into an image stroke. As a stroke, it will flow with the shape. It is a repeating image instead of a continuous image. The tile matches end to end. The other image has a continuous linear tile.

Thanks Bob and Nance,

The dragonfly was for a friend of Laura that is an oil painter. She does datailed paintings, and liked the print. It took about ten minutes. The drawings have been done for some time, I just needed to color them. The wing cells were filled with a tin map at about 60% transparency. Some emboss gets the shaping of the cells. These were in XPR format for EGD. maps and things are at the MS forum. The XAR files are at TG. An easy way to color and a cell set is done in a group.

A similar method of making an image transparent in Xara is to use a grayscale image, and the transparent function. Rich
