Hi Tracy!
I'm glad you decided to post here =)

Have you considered the possibility of finding an image that suits your needs and ask the author permission to use it?
I'm thinking this because if your need is so specific and you're not very familiar with the process of fractal creation, it might be a tedious learning curve. Fun, definitely, but if you need a specific outcome and don't want to wait a long time, it might be a good idea.
Then, more relaxed, you can explore all the software and possibilities of fractals (and I encourage you to do so!)

Just a thought.
Cheers!
Barb
