This isn't exactly crumpled but is it close to what you're looking for?

Well, I guess there are only so many ways to depict a scroll.

Here is a quill and ink I did:


             \/=
            \/=
           \/=
        ___/_
         ) (
ejm97  ( INK )
        \___/



NOTE: If you hit the reply button, add an "e" to the "freent";
its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
