how to create this border around wording??

[Hugh Potter]

on your tool bar..

effects> contour, it will put the contour box up and you can play with internal & external contours.

I dont use corel…
but in signlab i would just apply a heavy outline around the text, then the flag, then weld it.
in photoshop do it using "stroke"
there will be some white spaces appear but use fill them before welding.

Hi Nick, create a contour – then break it apart from the text.
Then on the contour only – break curve apart and remove the middle parts.

Many thanks Hugh, Rob, Ian – great help, sorted now :thumbup2:

Use the interactive contour option you can drag to the size you want and later versions allow different corner styles

contour then to remove the little but, Araange > Shaping > boundary, gives outline, delete the rest
