Did you ever like to play with those multiple gears in Spirograph (R) to create various types of designs?
Now, you can do the same in Paintshop Pro without the gears, and mostly, without the calculations needed to have a precise arrangement of the rotated layers, AND with the added speed of automation.
This script allows you to create an unlimited number of design, either from a randomly generated pattern, or your own. You can choose also the number of rotations, and you can even tweak the random design create for you.
Merge the layers if you want, or leave them unmerged if you want to tweak them some more. The possibilities are endless!

See how this script works and some ideas on how you can use the different options:
What could you do with such designs? Give me an idea of what element/effect you can create with this kind of design. I'll pick a winner, at random, and announce it in next week's newsletter. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).
For this week, i ran the script twice to create two interesting patterns, and colored one version just with the brush tool.
One ends up as a frame, while the other is more of a solid shape. Maybe you can print them and cut them out to add to your Christmas ornaments? Or maybe use them on a greeting card?
They are all about 1000 pixels wide, and you get one version with only the outline, and one version with the filled in colors. You can use the outlined ones and paint them to your liking, to match your project.

Great script. I think it might be fun to use a line of these doodles on a ribbon or as a border for a scrap page
very nice! I like the idea of using these to make “doilies” to layer with things like clusters or a grouping of photos. As if it were some pictures lying on your grandmother’s table. 🙂 That’s what it makes me think of anyway. 🙂
This is so cool, brings back great memories of my spirograph that I would spend hours playing with. Great idea!!
The second one on the video reminded me of an old wicker frame.
I think it would make great snowflakes too!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Very versatile script, love the number of options and being able to use your own designs and text. I can see using the text option on cards and scrapbook pages, with recipient’s name, dates and greetings.
I would use this script to make lace dollies or lace frames. Thanks for the chance to win.
