Here's what they look like. Sorry, I don't know how to add fancy patterns like Jo-Anne.

Thabk you so very much. I appreciate all your help.

yesterday I too did two of the three, then never got to the third one, but never not back on here to post them!

SO, here are my two:

and here are the images of the above files:

I recreated the shapes to make this.

As for directions...

I imported the jpgs into inkscape.

Then drew a rectangle, then I Path/object to path (to get shape into nodes)

Clicked on the corner nodes and moved them around to make the sails into 4 sided shape, and to make the triangle I deleted one of the nodes.

For the palm tress, I made a circle, and a rectangle, then overlapped the cirle with the rectangle, highlited them, then path/difference. This gives you the half circle, then add nodes by double clicking where you want them, and move the lines around.

That is the simple version of what I did.

Mainly all rectangles and circles just moved about.

Wow is all I can say. There are so many talented people on this board. Thank you so much for all your hard work. I am going to try and learn how to do this. Thanks again for your help. Excellent job!!!

Dog Carbon and Sweetness...you both did soooooooooo good on this!!! Thanks for the instructions...I have printed them and am going to see if I can do this in Inkscape. Thanks!

Ack, had a nice response typed out, then I wiped it out... ARG!

I use inkscape version 0.46 because of some quirky things with the newer versions.

I learned from this site for a full tutorial from start to finish using a bingbat. And there are A LOT of pictures, no video, 154 pictures to be exact!
So I could go at my pace, and work right along with the directions.

Hope this helps

:) I hate when that happens...type something all out and hit the wrong key that deletes it.

Thanks for the pointer to another great place to learn.
