[quote]Thank you. I am trying this and it is so slugish. I start in one place,
let up off the mouse and the thing keeps going. Any idea why this is
happening?[/quote]

If you are on Vista, turn Aero off (google how to do that.) There's a problem
with Vista Aero and brushes in Fireworks.

As for the example you posted, you could definitely get the same effect using
the tutorial posted. Just start with a good base image of fabric:

Thanks, abeall for the Aero hint. Never would have thought of that one.
I'll take a look at the tutorial frist thing in the morning. Thank you again
for the help. I'll let you know how it goes.

You're after a "grunge" effect, which is a pretty popular web design trend
right now. Here's a nice Photoshop tutorial on the subject that could provide
some insight:

Mind you, most all of the techniques in that tutorial can be done with
Fireworks, just a little differently.

Experiment with it all and if you get stuck on anything let us know...
