Any help would be appreciated...thanks...

Go to Craftsy.com and look at the March BOM (there are two differenty blocks demonstrated) It will show how to do a spider web block without paper. I used this method on mine and it came out great. See post "Scrappy! and I like it on this board to see how mine came out.
