May I respectfully request a Christmas Sig something nice and simple, I had also posted a request 4 days ago but this thread is moving so fast no one may have had a chance to read it.

A simple one is there :)

Did post already, but Arc's is the bomb, i'm still learning..

I am also learning ... but I started learning earlier than you Your works are very excellent as a beginner. Let me know if I can help you in your learning process anyways :) I asked earlier ... what is the program you are using ?

Hi, Arc, I'm now using gimp.. Learned some new tricks busy with a new sig will show you when I'm done... Should I use a different program.??

GIMP is extremely good . A lot of top level image manipulators use GIMP only, so it is absolutely ok.

There are some other programs that I use like photoshop and corel draw .... but those stuff cost a much

is it from corel draw you create the borders?
i like your borders most of the time, im jealous

This one you are using at present is made with Corel Draw, but the same thing can be done with Photoshop and GIMP, too .

If you are using Photoshop ......
Step 1 : Create a document with transparent background. Draw a rounded rectangle using the respective tool . Click on the white box of the layer in layers pallet , Holding Ctrl key to select the document . Create a new layer , and fill it with any color (you may change it anytime in future).

Step 2 : Select > Modify > Contract . Contract by the amount you desire the thickness of the border, apply the contract, and hit delete . You will get the shape of the border.

Step 3 : Now the styling . Click on "fx" below layers pallet, and select "blending options" . Apply drop shadow to the extent you want, for coloring, you may do it using color overlay or gradient overlay; and finally, you are to apply bevel and emboss. In the next screenshot, it is a setting of a good bevel and emboss, but you may change the figures to anything at your like, to suit the design.
