Thx - just tried importing into Illustrator and when I increase the size, it gets distorted. I'm recreating the layers and making them vectors in Photoshop....everything is complete minus the cool design in the rings....I'll probably just have to create numerous layers to attempt to get close to the original design.

I think that would be a great idea. Please inform me when you made it right. It would also be great to me to learn this one.
