    Bob: I could keep the name change, John-Paul, and change my surname too .... John-Paul Georgeandringo Could be UN Secretary-General with that monicker!

    Just to carry on the dog theme (prefer cats meself, but there you go) ....

    John when you were making this, I bet you wished that Xara had a tool for placing dogs on a circle.

    Sledger, that is beautifully done, something in preparation for Valentine's Day, perhaps?

    My wife came home from work this morning with a "flyer" advertising a local bullfight, (I have a friend who collects them)
    and it inspired me to do this. An apt choice of font, too.
    Saludos,
    Bob.

    Bob: missed your dogs before (wondered what the reference to the clip-art meant - you must have been editing) .... neat And your military fly!

    Steve: I particularly like the wattage on the bulb

    John

    John, your wattage must be a bit low today.
    If you create some text and a circle in Xara, you can go up to
    the Arrange menu and choose fit text to curve...if only it were
    possible with dogs.
    The "military" fly is wearing a matador's hat, (montera torera),
    made down the road from us in Seville
    (about 4 hour's drive down the road). I believe the military version isn't wooly,
    but shiny. Not been up close to one, but may be made from patent leather.
    I thought the reference to the matador font may have given the game away.

    This next one was made from previous postings cobbled together.

    a) Oh real dogs! Mine were/are a brush - which is probably what confused me.
    b) I thought they wore berets - matadors, not dogs.

    Apologies, but that grinding you can hear are the gears in my head not quite engaging. Tomorrow is another day.

    Nice hearts

    It must be because Valentine's day is just around the corner.
    Very effective, red on black, I like it.

    Nothing ever goes to waste in my Xara folder, it all gets
    recycled. I posted the whole rugby poster here back in
    November '07 and knew it would work with Xara's clipart.
    Saludos,
    Bob.
