Looked nice until I realized libreoffice draw had changed the borders from "dashed" to solid/full all around the image. Not sure what is up with that. Yet as a basic drawing app, I think I can learn and adapt to libreoffice draw. Too bad karbon can't do the basics.

  With inkscape, you can just draw the line, select properties, and choose
rounded line ends. Inkscape might be your friend here :)
