Give someone an honorary diploma

Bestow an honor, complete with shiny gold seal.  

Now that you have tried Shady Gothic from last Monday, you might like to combine some of your calligraphic scripts into a decorative diploma--a less-than-official page that sums up your gratitude or congratulations.  The wording can be serious or mock-serious; the language can be Latin, English, or somewhere in between; and the layout can be simple or fussy.  This illustration is black and white, from an out of print book of mine Calligraphy Alphabets Made Easy.   

You can print out a beautiful multi-color border to start with, from my website.
