Sometimes, designers would like to create a set of scattered elements as embellishment and although it is easy to do, it can also be quite tedious depending on the number of copies they want.
This script was inspired by a request from Mimi who likely wanted to create such scatters and wanted to save time. And this is exactly what this script will do as it will copy and multiply an element from the active layer as many times as you want, adding some rotation, and resizing to each individual element. And you can repeat the process with up to 3 different elements.

As a sample, I ran the script on three star shapes. I added the bevel and the shadows after the script so that everything would be angled correctly and have consistent lighting. The whole scatter is 2000 pixels wide and does include shadows, so that layered elements could be shadowed correctly.

You can easily create solid color beads with the Balls and Bubbles effect, but in order to add a random marble texture to those solid colors, you need to add a few more steps.
As a freebie, I am sharing the pink beads that I created for the preview. With Mother's Day coming in May for parts of the world (I know, in UK it is already passed), you can create something for that special woman in your life. Just save the .pspTube file in your Picture Tubes and it will show up for you.
Creating patchwork can be a very tedious way to display various colors or designs, but with PaintShop Pro, you can create them much faster than sewing them piece by piece.
To create this week's freebie, I simply used 4 basic papers that were made of solid colors with a texture added. No other pattern since I wanted the patchwork itself to show the design. I used 4 solid colors and ran the script. At the end, I ran the VectorPaint script to add some chain stitching instead of the straight stitching generated by the script.
In order to get a perfectly matching knot, you would need to use your own ribbon. It might not be so hard as you can colorize one already made, but in order to get a double knot, that will become much more difficult.
As a sampler, I started by editing a star-patterned ribbon with pastel colors, then used a solid colored ribbon and colorized it to match the little stars. The end result is a set of four double knots with pastel colors.
If you want a totally unique effect applied to your photos, this script is what you need.
As a sampler, I created a mask using the same brush tips but in a more generic shape since the script would otherwise run on a custom shape on your own photo. You can use this mask on any photo of your choice.
If you were to work with traditional paper scrapbooking, you would likely own and use some punches that would create cutouts on your papers, so why not do the same with your PaintShop Pro?
As a sampler, I used Brush #12 to punch out the middle area but added extra frames on new layers to then merge them together. I colorized with gold dust and added a bevel for a more 3D effect.
Whether you are celebrating St-Patrick's day or not, you might want to add a shamrock shape to your project.
As a sampler, I created one green shamrock for you with a little lacy ribbon (which is also included).
Where can you find your favorite cereals in digital form to use on your next project? If someone has made an element out of cereal, will they fit your particular need? Did you need a frame? a scatter? large or small?
For a free sample, I created some wide-bottom digits out of acrylics and filled them with 5 different types of cereals.
Do you like droopy bows? They can be a fun change from the standard "straight" bows that we see all over, but how do you get something that will match your project?
For a fun Valentine project, you can use this droopy bow made of a custom heart ribbon. This was a simple ribbon made and then, I ran the script on it. That is all. It is now yours to use in your layout.
With these picture tubes, you can add a single link or a whole chain of linked hearts to your project. You can draw them as long as you want them, and you can also place them along a path for a very regular arrangement.
I created two large frames with a rose gold chain of hearts with the VectorTube script to follow the exact shapes drawn. Each frame is about 3000 pixels in height so you can resize them as needed for your photo or your project.
