Creating oval for sign

[mr1234]

Have tried to create for some time the oval boarder on a sign to be highlighted. Can not get the outside to have a curve, al ways comes up with a straight line and/or hides the inner parts of the sign. The inner edge does not have the rounds that I see on signs. Need a pattern for this object, challenged on the computer to get this completed. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I probably wont be the one to help you, I am a newbie, but your chance of getting help would be better if you posted the project or a picture or drawing of what you are trying to achieve.

Here's one you can play around with that I made by using the CW Designer Blur tool on a couple of line drawn ovals
I did in Paint.Net's free graphic software
