Who has too many doilies? In the last few weeks, you got scripts to help you create circular and square doilies, but with a bit of math, I managed to code a script to allow for doilies that have different sizes in height and length. That is really adding another level of flexibility for your projects.
You can create doilies a wide as 7200 pixels, which would span the width of a double page layout.
It works just like the script to create square doilies but will duplicate the segments unevenly to match the size you want.

Would you want to win this script? Tell me what is the largest size you can think you could use for your doilies (and what you would use them for, in that size). I'll announce a winner in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).
This week, i made three rectangular doilies, and i am offering them to you. They are all in png format so you can use them with other programs than Paintshop Pro. You can also colorize them if you want. The shadows are only for the preview. There is a slight bevel only.

I could easily use 24 x 12 inchs for a double page layout. Of couse you can go really small as well for tags. It would depend on the size of the cut area as to how small you can go
I would use this behind a photo, so 12 inch x 8 inch
I could easily use them as Mat Edging with or without frames as various sizes such as 4 x 6, 8 x 10, 12 x 12, 24 x 12. I think that they would look great being used for smaller items such as tags and journal cards. I also think it would be great if there was an ability to be able to make them using various shapes.
I think the largest I would possibly use to scrap would be 22 x 10 inches, for a double page, with paper showing around. I can see using any size for single page layouts, from full page borders down to tags. I would certainly use the oval for portrait frames on layouts, say 4 x 6 or 5 x 7 photos.
I would definitely want to figure out how to use the oval, in combination with my Silhouette Cameo cutter, to make doilies for my gravy dish, salt & pepper tray, and other bits for my fancy china on the table.
