Although it is fairly easy to create this type of patterns with triangles, it is also quite time-consuming and could require a great deal of precision too.
That is why using this script will be a fantastic time-saver (and sanity-saver too) as it will do all the calculation needed and will always perfectly align all the triangles while picking them at random.

As a sampler, I created a full-size paper with primary colors (plus green which always seem to be "missing" from the three primary colors). This paper is saved in .png format so you can add another color underneath to get very different results. You can also adjust the brightness or the saturation for another option of changing the colors.

As a sampler, I created three full-size papers with some summer-y color gradients. You get three starburst papers and three matching gradients papers.
Using a straight ribbon and turning it into a zigzag with multiple folds can be a fun way to use the same ribbon in different ways on the same layout or to create consistency between several layouts in a project.
As a sampler, I started with a very long ribbon (5000 pixels) that I painted with a gradient. I thought it would be fun to see the gradient through the various folds. I repeated the effect with a different gradient, so you end up with two zigzag, but also the matching straight ribbons so you can use them elsewhere on your project.
"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore"
As a sampler, I am sharing that heart shape pizza, all dressed. This is to show you how I appreciate your continuous support.
Who can say they have too many bows in their stash? Nobody! And these tiny bows are delicate and can be incorporated into just any project, cluster, or even on a photo itself.
As a sample, I generated a ton of little bows from papers from an old kit I had (Splashes of Sunshine from Bernadette Hunt). I liked the colors on the 4 papers. Since they were full size, I resized them to 2000x2000 to keep some of the brushes imprint visible on some of the bows. I generated many more but kept a dozen for you among those that had some interesting patterns to them.
Creating random shapes for one's project might be easy but the randomness, sometimes, is not as random as one would want simply because we tend to do things in similar ways over and over again. That is why this script can become a time saver as it will REALLY create random shapes for zigzags on separate layers and then, you pick and choose which ones you want to use and discard the rest. Easy!
As a sampler, I used one of those shapes and overlayed it on a white layer. Once they were merged, I added a gaussian blur and now, that shape can be used as a mask.
If you want to view your gradients, looking at the little thumbnails in the Materials Palette is not the best way. But if you want, you can now make a larger image that you can even print, to display all the gradients in a specific folder. Make sure you read the instructions because you will have to edit your script before running it.
As a sample, with summer coming, with the warmer weather, I thought you might like a set of fresh popsicles. This is made from the Wooden Puzzle 2 script, and all the pieces are grouped together, allowing you to move the whole set onto your next project. Once that is done, you can ungroup the pieces and move them around, individually.
You can create slats at an angle, but it is tedious to measure all those pieces one by one.
Since this script allows you to create a mask out of the settings you chose, I did just that. I started with a large, 3000x3000 black image, and created a layered mask file. You just have to add your photo and that's it. If you find that the mask is way too large, resize it before adding the photo. You can even resize it without keeping the proportions if your photo is rectangular and you don't want it square.
Whether you have a birthday theme or other celebration, you might want to have a unique cake to add to your graphics project. But other than the traditional birthday cake, what do you have?
I baked all day to give you this delicious multi-layered rainbow cake, complete with colorful icing.
Datestamps can be used obviously to write a date but you can be creative and add something different like a location, a greeting, or a particular event.
As a sampler, I created four stamps for the seasons of 2019. They are in greyscale so you can colorize them to match your project.
