    I like the idea. How about an image of the tartan (perhaps a scan of the material, if not I'm thinking a gif or something). But I'm thinking maybe 3-6 repeats of the sett across the width. Then go with the Xmarks clan crest large and centered.

    That's my thought on it

    If you want, you can right click on the background image showing the tartan, the select to download it, or open background image then repeat and select to download it, then save it and go into your desktop properties and select the image downloaded, then select tile to make it repeat across the desktop. These directions should work for Windows PC's. Not sure about Macs.

    That would work, KCW. But I'm thinking for this wallpaper design, a larger repeat would be nice, if possible.
