Gokul, frankly the ones you created looks great. I really didn't expect it to be just a two-step process. Sorry for being so lame [I haven't used Gimp much, and have only used for PS for like a couple of weeks], So I dont know what the source files are called in Gimp [the equivalent of PSDs], whatever that be could you please post them, so that I can a take a look. Once again thanks a lot.
