    I see what Christian means. The image you have created is a `mirror image'. If you look at the item the image is back to front, as is the writing....just as if you were looking at the reflection of the item in a mirror. :)

    De Orc, man that is beautiful, even if it's transposed. The blue color is exactly the color of the metal rod (titanium) which was in my lower leg at one time, LOL. A very pretty/metalic blue color :)
