Nice one Gail, it looks like it has been embroidered with silks, very
effective. Love the twists and turns!

Definitely snakey to my eyes, Gail. I like it! The colors too,
excellent. I just closed XD after about 1/2 hour of playing and
coming up with nothing. Ptoooie. I think it's just one of those
days. Either that or my "click randomly and hope something
interesting happens" way of using the program isn't working today
;-))

I like that a lot. XenoDream really does have something special with the
3D. BTW Joe Cilinceon's Eliminate Black filter will take your background
away lickety split if you should want to paste that fractal on something.
Ron V pointed out that I had to be sure to promote the background to make it
work.

Jeanne, XD lets you save a background mask... if you want to
remove the background, just save in .psd format and PSP will open
it for editing. I've used it a few times on XD images that were
transparent and it works great. It's one of the *very* few
things I know about XD ;-))

Thanks, Joelle! When I do the lighting in XD, I often get fabric effects,
which is fine with this one, but not-so-fine when I'm trying for metal or
wood ;-0!

Thanks, Michelle! I have days like that all the time - maybe because I use
the same basic method of using XD as you do lol! I don't rely quite as much
on randomizing as I used to, but the only way I got to know a little more
about what I'm doing is that the principles kinda sink in gradually while I
click and play.

Thanks, Barb! I used a starter, then 'made it my own' ;-) That's my favorite
thing to do in XD, although I start from scratch too if the mood strikes.

Thanks, Lori! The dark side has a beauty of its own ;-)
