Is it possible to make an elliptical arched opening in a brick wall with a square garage door inside?

Clients want elliptical not camber arches on other brick openings, and want the garage doors to match.  Sure I say!  But now stumped on how to do this.

Sean wanted an ELLIPTICAL arch not a camber (Chord).

 

Sean, you may have to draw everything yourself to get the ellipse that you want - including the frame.

Thanks, Keith, yes that's what I seem to need to do.  Almost had it, but not quite.  Good enough for drawings, not for rendering.  Getting ever closer though.
