<p>I know it's been done before, but not this way!<br />A box with curved corners into which you can put text that goes right up to the corners.<br />
Again, no graphics were used in the making of this demonstration.<br />All it takes is four quadrants of a bullet point positioned absolutely in each corner (arial font this time as it's the safest one to use).</p>
