| Mist, since you wanted to know I thought I'd explain how to do the golden borders. It's really very simple, just a process of using multiple backgrounds and varying the cell padding. The cell padding is the key.
As you can see I started out with this background. You're welcome to snag any of these, lol. Cell padding on this one is 30. |
| | OK..... next I added this background which will become the first golden border. Notice, since the cell padding was set at 30 on the first one, the starry 'border' on this one is 30 pixels wide. Cell padding on this one is 2. | |
| | |
Next I added this background and because of the 2 pixel cell padding on the last one it appears to be a border 2 pixels wide. Cell padding on this one is also 2.
| | |
| | | |
As you can see this is very time consuming, adding multiple backgrounds to make a border effect. Cell padding on this one is 3 so should be just a tiny bit wider than the first golden 'border'.
| | | |
| | | | | This will be the final example but hopefully you can get the hang of it. On this one I set the cell padding at 20 simply to keep the wording away from the border. If you need help or have any questions just let me know. This is only the basics. Also, I have done as many as 16 or more backgrounds in one set. Average time to do a set is just over an hour for me.

| I should also post the other settings on all the above backgrounds.
Rows and columns are 1 each.
Cell padding is variable (see above).
Cell spacing is 0.
Border width is 0.
Border color doesn't matter.
Background URL for the particular background.
Background color doesn't matter.

Also, when adding each background, including the first one, be SURE you click inside it and backspace once so the background will be empty. Otherwise this messes things up big time, lol.
OK, let's see some backgrounds!

But why is the bottom edge wider? Great job, Lynni. The answer to your question
is simple. Everytime one begins a new background
there's a pesky space in there that has to be backspaced out. If not it ALWAYS causes either the top
or bottom to be wider.
Here I've copied yours and backspaced it out.
You're doing great, Lynni!
