New tubes – Balloon Twists #2

Balloon Twists picture tubes for PaintShop ProA few weeks ago, we had some balloon twists made up of color + white. This week, we have sets of monochrome color arrangements, ranging from white to the darker color.

You can create long hanging decorations, arches or draw them in the shape of digits or letters to spell out a word or a date. How cool is that?

New script – Pop Art

Pop Art script for PaintShop ProHave you ever tried to create a montage of pop art images inspired by Andy Warhol? It uses bold colors and simplistic lines and offers multiple variations on the same colors.

Balloon Twist frame in PNG formatAs a freebie, obviously, there was no way to give you a sample that would suit your own project, so I figured that everyone was quite enthusiastic about the balloon twists frame from a couple of weeks ago so I created another one, in different shape and using a different color. Those balloons would be quite suitable for summer theme projects.

Marshmallow Twist frameFor a sample of this product, I created a fun oval frame using the four-color twist along with the VectorTube script to place them along the edges. Of course, I had to tweak a bit to "hide" the end of the twist as it was not seamless but I think the result is pretty good, don't you think?

New Script – Gradient Stripes

Gradient Stripes script for PaintShop ProThis script will allow you to combine two patterns into one: gradient and stripes.

Everything is done automatically and randomly based on the colors you provide. Each paper will be made of two unmerged layers: one gradient created from those colors you picked, and one striped layer based on a color from the gradient. You can generate up to 10 different papers in one run. Keep the papers you like, and discard the others.

New script – Ribbon Butterflies

Ribbon Butterflies script for PaintShop ProIf you are a little bored with regular bows to embellish your projects, here is something a bit different: butterflies. Although they are similar to a bow, they have that symmetry and the additional beaded body to turn them to something original.

You can use any straight ribbon, whether it is opaque or translucent, with straight edges or scalloped. If you use a smaller ribbon, the result will be a smaller butterfly. The maximum size it will make is a 900-pixels butterfly. If your ribbon is thicker than 400 pixels, the script will resize it to 400 and work from there.

Ribbon Butterflies in PNG formatFor a sampler, I created three straight and translucent ribbons and ran the script on them. I chose some basic colors that should go well with just about anything. You get the butterflies and the matching straight ribbon too.

Other options allow you to add an outline in any color and even to create a squiggled outline.
