Hi Chuck,

Welcome to our little corner of the net.

You will find plenty of people here willing to give you advice, and some will be about questions you actually ask

We like to digress, I mean discuss on a lot of subjects, including our common passion: scrolling and it's related activities.

There are a few here that make their portrait patterns and they may be able to help you along in your quest. Just ask away. Let us know what software you have, do not be ashamed to post pictures of what you are able to do already, by seeing it, we have a better understanding of your needs.

We are a fun group, we like to share knowledge and we like to rib each others in a respectful manner. We believe that the only dumb question is the one not asked.

Take a few hours to read the older posts, you will find a ton of information in them. I suggest you also take a few minutes to read the Bill of rights, it gives the very few rules we have in here.

And the important question: What saw do you have?

Regards,
Marcel
