Things you will need Gifworks Here's a cool thing you can do at Gifworks with any line or bar. At IM make a bar using dingbats & on a transparent bg. Not too long or too high! Say 230 x 50 or so. Output as a gif. ( If you don't have a transparent bg, you can make one using xc and none in the meta box.) Bar Example Take the bar to Gifworks, and enter the url. Then choose the EFFECTS dropbox & choose CUBE. Choose EFFECTS again, & choose KLAIDESCOPE, and 8 facets. Go to EDIT and SMART CROP. Next choose CLONE under EFFECTS. Depending on the bar, type 15-35 in the pixel box. Smart crop again. Frame Example Finish by comp'ing an image or annotate another ding or your name. See my example at top of page. For this one I used a bar from the site posted below and a cute little critter. Frame 3 Try using just an image - see what happens! I used this Kitty and got this. Gifworks Ornament This  poinsettia  and got this. Poinsettia Ornament You can use these to play with or comp over your frames. Pink Poinsettia Red Poinsettia Red Poinsettia 2 If you don't want to make your own bar ( what?? don't want to??) here's a great bar site with plenty to choose from. You will probably need to crop or resize these bars. Nevr2l8 Bars
