A cool way to add some interest to your elastica layout is to use cut out graphic buttons.
Check out my site at http://www.wingscouts.org
The badges and the link buttons are custom html modules in position-7 with a .png graphic (24 bit with soft shadow is best of all ) and a link to the page/item
Here’s the cool thing add the following suffis to module suffix contrast-noborder MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE A SPACE AT THE BEGINNING
When the page reflows, these items magically drift around/across the screen into their final position.
