You could save yourself the effort of panelization and get
inexpensive but high-quality boards from Laen's PCB order
<http://pcb.laen.org>, it's USD$5.00/in^2 for 3 copies (i.e.,
$1.66/in^2 cost); International mailing is a flat rate of $15 for
USPS Priority Mail, or $5 for standard first class.  Laen has no
minimum size and no extra cost if you send him several small
layouts -- he will panelize them.
