Need Campbell tartan drawing

I want to put a drawing of a ribbon in my clan's tartan (Campbell of Argyll) on a wedding invitation. An elementary Google search hasn't turned up quite what I want. Can anyone tell me where I can find such a thing?
BTW, I don't want a ribbon in the cause style, aligned vertically and open at the bottom. I was thinking more of a horizontal infinity symbol.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you are looking for... a 'drawing', rather than an example of the tartan(s)?

I don't know where you live, but you could probably find examples via a Clan Campbell society (I know there's an active one for North America, based in the USA) - or try looking on a couple of the tartan register sites (sorry, don't have the URLs to hand) although perhaps they only have photographic examples, rather than drawn ones. Two sites with lots of general info on various clans are Rampant Scotland Directory and Electric Scotland is all about the history of Scotland and the Scots. I would caution that both sites simply accept info as posted, they do not appear to research said info!

Good luck with your search.

That's right, a drawing, and not just any drawing; a drawing of a ribbon. I've looked at both sites, and neither seem to have the facilities with which to conduct such a search. I did find a Facebook group, but it's as dead as Queen Mary.
Does it matter where I live? I imagined just finding what I need anywhere on the Internet.

Yes, it probably DOES matter where you live - the resources seem to be different, whether you live here or abroad.

Sorry, but it seems that we can't help you.

Have you tried a google image search? I think under the advanced options you can specify image type so you could restrict it to gifs for instance which should increase your chances of finding a drawing of one. You might like to consider these terms too: "line art", monochrome, greyscale.
I'm not sure what you're actually after but an image search for infinity ribbon is where I'd start.
If you've not done an image search before, at the top left of the google homepage are tabs which are: web, images, maps etc. Just click on the one that says images and then enter your search criteria as normal.
