Thanks for that, Scott. But it's not as easy at it looks (for me, anyway!). How do you get the transparency of the text to show through the border stroke, as @oksananka shows in the example? I can't get it to “stick” for some reason.

Put the pull quote frame behind the text.

This particular is made with a single colour that would be below the text.

And the black text goes over it slightly.
