These tubes allow you to draw twisted ropes in any shape or length that you need in your project. No need to wait for someone to have one extracted that is exactly what you wanted. You can do it yourself.
This set of tubes include 14 different colors including a sparkling gold rope.

For a sampler, I created this fun frame. I made the shapes with the Pen tool, and on that path, I ran the Vector Tube script using the sparkly gold twisted rope.
The frame includes the shadow for you.

Some cameras will automatically add a date on your photo and often, you might want to remove those dates to concentrate on the photo itself. However, in other situations, adding a date might be needed. If your camera took the photo while saving the EXIF information, this script will retrieve that date and add it on your photo. You get to choose whether you want the date on the left or the right of the photo and in which color.
As a sampler, I decided to play with a recent script, the Wooden Puzzle 2, to make you a Valentine theme puzzle. This is a .pspimage (so the file is fairly big) and each element is part of a group, so you can copy and paste it onto any other project, and since all the layers are unmerged, you can move the pieces around as you wish.
A Bargello pattern is made of multiple strips of fabric, cut into more strips and gradually offset from one another. All that delicate work is tedious when sewing fabric, and definitely as tedious if using a graphics program as it will involve multiple selections, cutting and moving.
I created two tiles using individual patterns: one is in the red tones, which you could use for Valentine projects and one with pastel colors for a softer type of project.
Who can say they have too many bows and ribbons? Not a scrapbooker! This script will let you tie a straight ribbon into a multi-loop bow, attached with a centerpiece. Each piece is left unmerged so you can tweak them separately if needed.
For a sampler, this week, I used a starting ribbon from Janet Scott at Pixel Scrapper and modified it slightly (to make it straighter) and ran the script for the basic bow. Then, playing with the Hue map to change the colors from the base ribbon, I created 3 additional versions to run the script again. That will give you those 4 bows to use.
You can easily use a rusty texture image to add rust to your elements or shape, but rust is not always the same, right? So you would need to have many different images to have different types of rust.
This new script will allow you to slash images or shapes, in addition to add colors or patterns in various ways. Use this to create templates, add colors, make a monogram, and much more.
For a sample, I created a template made by running the script on a single plain back rectangle. This yielded this template that has random slashes. Use the Clip to It script to quickly fill those areas with your favorite photos very quickly.
It is a festive time, and sweets are everywhere. How about creating some delicious licorice to decorate your cakes, cookies or scrapbook pages? Although we are used to seeing traditional green, red or black licorice, with the magic of PaintShop Pro, you now have 12 different colors, and even more, if you want to adjust the given colors or colorize the grey one.
For the freebie, this week, I created another alphabet using 5 of the licorice tubes. This alphabet also includes 10 digits so you can include some dates.
Have you ever wanted to create candy cane shapes that are not just like a cane? With these tubes, you can create candy cane circles, squares, hearts and anything in between. Since these are tubes, you can draw them in any shape, regular or irregular, and you can even just free draw them.
As a sampler, I created a simple alphabet using one of the candy cane design. Each letter is about 500 pixels high in png format. You can resize them as needed.
Although paperclips can be common on various projects, they can also be boring. How about customizing your paperclip with a name, a date, a place or another message to make your project unique.
How about some simple clips to help date your photos?
This week, the script will let you create a puzzle from any element or design you want, whether they are letters, numbers, drawings, photos or shapes. Whatever you want on the puzzle, you can draw or paste.
This week, I created a full alphabet that you can use with any child theme project. You can even use the letters from the puzzle to spell out the name of someone (if they need more than one of the letters, add them in writing, so it is just like you would do in real life, missing one letter).
