I am making a gift for my friend's 40th. i have a beautiful frame which is glass back and front and a vinatge playing card with her initial on thwt will sit in the centre. i have chosen the following lines but want some ideas for making thw lettering look interesting. i dont just wnat to print the words off. I am rubbish at calligraphy etc so need something I can either do on the computer or put together ( eg in the past I've made gifts with scrabble letters - these wouldn't fit in the frame but you get the idea)

In Word and Powerpoint you can 'fill' the text with any image you choose. I use it to make big funky letters for my classroom, but it would work with other text.

office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word-help/format-text-effects-text-fill-pane-HA010165871.aspx for one set of example instructions. Google images for a pic that suits what you want to show.

Or have a play with www.tagxedo.com/ ?
