Can anybody here that has the knowledge...seeing how I do not.. make me a couple of bottlecap...I need them to be able to be scaled down to about 250 when i'm done with them without losing sharpness..I need one silver and then one silver with maybe black barely around edge. if you can make it a flattened bottlecap would be way cool...oh and if your looking at a bottlecap...I need to be able to put images in the inside.

If you need to be paid for this..as long as its as much as a car..I can probably pay you thur paypal

Thanks

As much as a car?

I'll make all the bottlecaps you want for a car. I'd recommend doing it in Inkscape though, it's more suited to that sort of thing. That advice in itself should be worth a moped at least.

Your request is pretty vague, in that it sounds so simple you could do this yourself. Do you have an example image of what you are seeking? I wouldn't mind a car or a moped, heck, I'd even take a bicycle, lol.

Do you need it to be one single bottlecap? A grid of bottlecaps? A composite template?

LOL sorry guys worded that way way wrong, can't afford a car...heck I haven't had a car since May of last yr...not even a bike...LOL

Ok here is an example..this is what i'm looking for so I can put the designs in center like this one.

Heathenx is one of the best guys to explain it too.

Micki:

I created a bottlecap for you to look at. Feel free to use it if it works for you.

This is what it looks like, only in a .xcf file you can manipulate the layers (replace the blue area with anything of your own):
