Do you want to copy the images or just create something similar?

To create a close copy of main_epilogue.gif:

* Load the GIF.

* Create a new layer above it.

* Use the Bezier tool to create a spline along the top contour. Spline
is the official name for a Bezier curve. It is also called a B-spline.

* Use the Edit Nodes tool to adjust the spline to match. One of the
advantages of vector graphics is that you can always tweak at any time.

* Select it, copy and paste.

* Align the new spline with the next line down.

* Use the Edit Node tool to adjust it.

* Repeat until all "horizontal" lines are done. Usually it's better if
you copy and paste the last line you worked on, rather than just pasting
the first over and over.

* Do the same thing for the "vertical" lines.

* Delete the layer with the GIF.

You can try to do the same with header_bg.jpg but the problem is seeing
the white lines in the light background. I would first try to make them
black using Photoshop or GIMP before I tried to creating splines for them.
