Thanks. You're not gonna believe how I did the ribbon, haha. I have some brushes that look like stitching. I made a set, lining it up end to end, shrunk the height of it to be slightly larger than the bar, then erased the parts I didn't want. I'm sure there would have been an easier way of doing it, but that's all I could come up with. Here's the stitching I used to start with:

Click above in the bare spot to see it.

Wow that is very cool. I must try it. BTW, how did you make that clickable thing transparent?

Thanks. I didn't. It's just white on a transparent background, and blended with the forum.

No problem. It is a pretty cool font. The banner is the first time I've actually used it for something, other than just messing around to see what it was like.

Of course you have to make your own letters using the path tool.

Thanks Esper.
I understand how you feel, but this banner I named Avocado for a reason and I don't think there's such a thing as a blue avocado, at least I don't think there's a blue avocado. The edges of the banner are blue. :hehe
