There is an existing design supplied with DXBase2007 that perhaps you could use. It's called CardBack_9Q_Black_centered.crd and there are a number of variations. The prints 9 Q's on the back of an existing card design, there is also a 20 Q version.
You can see an example of the 9Q design here: http://www.dxspots.com/CardBack_9Q_ReadMe.htm This design works well for me!

I do three different types. Black and white on card stock, colour on card stock and colour on photo paper. When I set up my project I define the card size as 4 x 6 inches and my printer Canon I560 prints them horizontally so it is easy to design as you do not have to turn card as you do on some printers to get it to feed in envelope feeder. In the design stage I define the area of the card as 3.5 x 5.5 in size so I do not print outside the printer margins. If you have a newer printer that prints colour without borders you do not need to do this. I put 6 QSO's per card along with the picture. You can see what I have done if you visit this page http://www.ve3ho.ca/ve3ho/ve3ho-qslpage.htm and I can help you further if you need it. I use the label editor for my complete cards instead of the card editor. I have also done printing on the back of picture cards and fill in the box type of printing. As a QSL Manager I find this printing on the fly the best way to go for my needs. Joe, WA6AXE, is a good source of information for programming some of the features you can use such as printing an icon for the mode or printing a dashed line when there is no data to print or not printing blank lines on your card when there is less than 6 QSO's to go on the card designed for 6 QSOs. 73 seasons greetings Garth VE3HO.
