 Bob, not sure if you knew the story on the first one I did like this, but you're right, I messed up when I measured for a twenty check and cut it a quarter inch short.. I'd already scored the border, so I added a quarter inch to the end just to see what it looked like.. Ended up finishing it and saving the call!!  ROTFLMBO
