    Default Decorative Drop Cap

    Some time ago Su Lawrence posted a drop cap in answer to (I forget, font play?) anyhow I was so impressed with what she did that I thought it might make a good, but not difficult challenge So the challenge is to make a drop cap using the initial of your first name. At first I wanted to limit the font to one of our TG fonts but on second thought I decided that you may use any font you want.That being said, here is one to get started. It's not as pretty nor as colorful as what Su did but it is something.

    This is a bit of a cheat. A font I no longer have on my system, the name of which escapes me...Deco dings or some such. I pulled apart the "B" and coloured the shapes. First posted about 5 or so years ago.

    Lovely one Bob
    If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
    They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
