<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Yes, I'm continuing the 'line theme' ;). I can never get enough of patterns.

This didn't matter much, because in the place where the tape wasn't smoothed out, the piece of paper with the quote was pasted on. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">5. I think this was the longest and the most difficult step - choosing the font. I tested various fonts with different color combinations. The colors that showed on the monitor were different from the ones that printed out - the magic of metallic paper, gotta love it ;) .... but in the end....</span></div>
