Also note that the Inkscape and Scribus projects coordinate to try to
ensure cross-application compatibility, so if you like using one app,
the other should (hopefully) play well together with it.

Could you do us a favor?  Would you mind creating an example Scribus
template that uses a border like this, that we could include as a
"featured template"?  Our next release has the theme of "Food", so
something maybe think along the lines of something appropriate to a menu
or recipe card.  This would both serve as an example of how to create
borders using OCAL clipart in Scribus, and provide an additional item of
value for OCAL users.  :-)
