Okay, so the strangest thing. I downloaded the zip file, and when I opened them on my comp they definitely had the dark filigree, but when I uploaded them to photobucket, the filigree disappeared. I have a feeling it's because they are .gif images. I'm never happy with anything I upload as .jpg or .gif because they never look the same once they're uploaded. I usually use .png for everything, but that could just be my slow connection.

Also, the inside image for the sidebar boxes was a nice smooth gradient in the image I downloaded but had even more of the variegated look to it after I uploaded it than the original image I uploaded. I think I'll leave them the way they are for now. LOL.
