Welcome to challenge #10, "Fancy Frames"! For this challenge you must use a "fancy" frame in your icon(s). Me, I've downloaded all these fancy icon "brushes" and never used them, because I think of the border/frame last, and by that time there's no space for anything but a simple border. So this time, let's let those fancy borders loose! The fancy border can be one that you've made yourself, or one that someone else has made, it doesn't matter.
