What you will get

An ornate border of interwoven endless lines in your chosen colours, with a small illuminated capital letter in the corner on a textured parchment background, in a manuscript style.

Why it works

Celtic knotwork is made of endless interwoven lines, so the prompt asks for that along with symmetry and a parchment background. A small illuminated capital in the corner borrows from old manuscripts. The colour blank sets the inks, and a square or strip version, as the tip says, fits coasters and bookmarks.

Common mistake

The knot has breaks and loose ends.

Fix: Say “one unbroken interlaced line, over-under pattern, no loose ends”.

Also watch for

The letter is wrong. Check it, and keep it to a single capital.
The border is not symmetrical. Ask for “mirror symmetry on both axes, identical corners”.

Try a variation: make a wedding card

Use the same knot as a frame with an empty centre for names and a date. Add the real text yourself in an editor.
