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...".
