[SCA-AE] Scrolls and an idea

[Michele George]

Greetings THL Keran,

What a wonderfully novel idea! I love it! Authenticity is preserved, artwork
is enhanced and personalized for the recipient, and both artists are fully
recognized for their work!

...But I was wondering if you could contact me off list regarding an
entirely different matter?
