Goddess, certainly and without question.  :)

Much press everywhere.  The scrolls were the highlight of the dessert table. 
  I can't tell you how many people came up to me and complimented them.

Incidentally, the trompe d'oeil scroll is intact, and on my kitchen counter, 
because I could bear neither to cut into it nor throw it away..

Absolutely.  Many, many thanks all around

I have a couple of pics of the whole display.. I'll get them up in the next 
couple of days.
And thanks to everyone on the list for your good instruction and advice.
