Description
It seems rather difficult to describe in words exactly the appearance of this action. As you can tell, it forms a dark brown textured border around the text, with the inside being a lighter, streaky yellow. Although the action itself does not have a particular theme, I do like the appearance of the end result, and it should have a broad range of possible uses. As always, the action ends with each element in the effect seperated into a different layer for easy customization. In this particular effect, you may want to experiment with showing/hiding layers after the action finishes, as doing so yields some other alternate looks.
Instructions
A prompt is given near the beginning of the action to enter your own text. Later on, there are several stops with brief instructions on customizing this effect to work properly with thinner fonts. This basically amounts to giving you the choice of entering "different than default" values for a few "Contract Selection" steps. Other than these customization options, all you have to do is just play the action and enjoy!
Requirements
