(You will have to scale it to cover the text and image)
Set it to y only, and as large as you want.

Alphabet of the Magi is one of my all time favorites for rune looking things that don't look like Norse or Ultima. I used it in my entry on the CWBP in the frame. Elven Common Speak is also one I use a heckuva lot cuz it looks so spidery. The pages kick butt now, good job.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Your welcome. The Displace filter is a great tool. really nice with a high noise layer to make lines not appear to be perfect which gives them a bit more hand drawn look. One good example of it's use is for making "tiles" is to create a grid and then a high noise and displace the grid against the noise layer. It makes the normally straight grid lines kind of jaggy (but you have to be careful to make sure all the bits are still connected to the main line, so don't move the displace very much at all.)Thanks Jfrazierjr
