Here is another way of creating ornaments that I have found to work well. At least with Sony readers and ADE. The method may be more complex than you would like but it has worked very well for me.

Find a free (unrestricted) font that has the ornaments that you want. Load the font into FontForge and export the glyphs as SVG images. The resulting SVG image will scale perfectly.

If you can't find the ornament in a font, then the alternative is to take the image and trace it in InkScape. From this you create a SVG image of the ornament. Once you have created it, it's available whenever you want it.

This may seem to be overly complicated but the procedures are quite simple and you only have to do it once for each image. FontForge and InkScape are free programs.
