[MR] Image from a blazon assistance?

I prepared a blazon using Paint, based on a
couple of images from the internet (of a chess
rook, a csstle, a chess knight etc., all
downloaded from various heraldry sites). I did
have to do some bit twiddling, but it came out
pretty well expanded to 8 1/2 by 11. If anyone
wants to see it, I pasted it on my buckler and
bring it to Monday practices in Storvik (College
Park, MD) or Wednesday practices in Roxbury Mill
(Rockville, MD). Or, I can Email a copy.
I probably should have imported to a drawing
program (Corel Draw), but I hadn't installed that
yet, and I still don't use it very effectively.
So right now the "draw" version doesn't look nearly as good.
