Hi Bill, While at one of the labs I sometimes use, I saw a huge transparency mounted in a frame, designed to be used with a lightbox type of setup. It's a Fuji process, but I can't recall the name of it right now. Went to the lab's site and didn't see it listed there. However, it was a beautiful nature scene that would be well suited to your purposes. If you remind me tomorrow morning, I'll call Rob and ask him about it.
