A great way to showcase a particular subject can be to add a colorful circle based on the image colors. The advantage of this script is that you won't be limited to a straight rectangular section to select the colors. In fact, you will be able to draw over the image where are the most colorful section you want to use.
Once the script has completed, you will have three circles generated from the exact section you have selected. You can use either one or more than one circle and place it/them behind your subject. It will obviously give a better result if your subject is isolated, but you can also use the circles creatively.

For a sample, since this script relies heavily on your own photo, I decided to create a set of sprinkles picture tubes for your Valentine photos, or any other project you want to create. One set is using shades of pink, the other uses shades of red.

Creating a radial design might be fairly easy using the kaleidoscope command, but that does not give you all the flexibility of ajusting the colors, using asymmetrical shapes, or getting perfectly sized rings. This can only be done with careful and tedious calculations.
For a sample, I created a basic design with hearts (perfect for Valentine Day). It is black but with the Locked Transparency, you can change its color and you can use gradients too. If you want to use it as a mask, you can do that too.
Selecting individual colors per character is tedious at best and inconvenient in other situations, but with this script, you can choose a gradient and it will sample colors evenly on that gradient based on the length of the longest string of text.
Get a taste of the the script with this free set of four seasonal word art designs! Each piece is created using a unique gradient to match the vibe of spring, summer, fall, and winter. These high-quality PNG files with transparent backgrounds are perfect for your digital or print projects!
If you like the watercolor look, you could convert most photos into a piece of art.
For a sampler, I used the brushes included in the zip file to create a mask that you can use to showcase a photo of your choice. The file is available in .pspimage and .psd formats.
Although you can create scallop patterns with a set number of colors or gradients, you can get a lot more different patterns when they are based on a photo. In fact, this script works similarly to the 
For a few samplers, I used a winter photo from Unsplash and generated many tiles. I kept the best eight tiles. Once you have filled your page with the seamless tiles, you can apply various effects to make the design sharper or more subtle.
And you can now have some flat ribbons that are not so flat anymore.
For a sampler, I created some flat ribbons from CU files, and ran the script twice on each so you have three matching ribbon for each of the four starting ribbons.
Turn a straight ribbon into a simple bow and you can even add an accent ribbon too. You can use a matching ribbon or a contrasting one. You can even use some lace ribbons.
For a sample, I created five bows of basic colors with a white accent ribbon. They are in PNG format so you can use them in most graphic programs.
If you want to create a regular seamless pattern, you can use any open design on your workspace and use it as a fill, but what if you want to arrange the designs at angles, or with mirrored elements?
For a sample, I generated one tile of each of the 13 patterns, using cliparts of paint tubes in different colors. Each tile is in PNG format so you can add whatever background you want to them.
Stylized trees are a perfect addition to your scrapbook pages, cards, and posters, and now you can create them effortlessly with this script! Every run generates a unique tree design, using the papers you’ve opened in your workspace. No two trees will ever be the same!
For a sample, I created one tree using a single paper (notice that there are some variations if lightness in different sections). All the sections are left unmerged so you can tweak them, replace them with other papers, or even with photos.
Wavy edges can add a delicate effect to any element. You can create small or big waves, on one edge, two opposite edges, or even all four edges at once.
For a sampler, I created two simple frames for you to showcase your favorite photos. One is vertical and one is horizontal. The difference is in the slight bevel added to give that 3D effect.
