Why don't you make one using the Gimp?  ;-)  You can
draw the frame in white on a black background, apply
"Gaussian Blur" to it, make a second layer, and apply
"Filters > Light and Shadow > Lighting Effects..." with
the bottom layer (black/white) as a bump map. A nice
effect can be achieved by selecting the black layer,
shrinking the selection, then applying "Selection> Border"
(with "Feather" set) to it and fill this border with white.
This results in a nice 3D border that can be used as
a bump map for "Lighting Effects...".


HTH,

Claus
