The slate boards with drop shadows I would make in Gimp and import as a single graphic. The drop shadow with the blended edge is easier in Gimp. For the big circles you need a transparent layer with the part circle inscribed and the outer area filled with semi-transparent white. Again this is easy in Gimp but perhaps doable in Scribus. It looks like that newsletter was done with Photoshop or Gimp. Scribus 1.3.5 has a Gimp exit that might be useful. -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus/e-book $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
