Every project can use confetti, either to add a feel of freedom or to emphasize particular colors of the featured photo. But it might be hard to find the exact colors in a ready-made confetti element. This script will really create a unique set of confetti tubes, with the exact colors you want, in addition to various other settings of your choice.
After running the script, you can use and reuse the resulting picture tube as often as you want, to add a little touch of confetti, or to completely fill an area to make a backgroundd.

Always hoping for spring to come, I chose to use some spring-y colors and create a set of rectangular confetti. Maybe it will make spring come faster?

Delicious donuts are always tempting, and if you have any baking projects or layouts, it could be fun to have some custom pastries. This is where this script comes into play. You can create a variety of donuts based on any shape you want, and customize them with various icing flavors and additional toppings.
For a sample, I created 3 letters that can spell the word YUMMY. Each letter (Y, U, M) are made of a different flavor. They are about 2000 pixels in height so you can easily resize them to what you need.
Have you ever seen, in bakeries, bread in various shapes? Now you can create a loaf in any shape you want, using this script. You can create a simple white bread, a whole wheat bread or a rye bread.
As a sample, I created a variety of bread in the shape of simple digits. I know, you can't eat them, nor can you even smell them, but I am sure they smell wonderful!
If you liked to play with pipe cleaners when you were a kid, and loved making them into various shapes by twisting them, bending them, folding them, then you will LOVE these tubes. As tubes, you can just use your cursor and create them as long as you want, in any shape you want. You get a total of 12 different colors of pipe cleaners.
Did you get some pictures of your last Valentine Day with your valentine?
For a sample, I created a heart shape frame using a preset shape, and ran the VectorTube script to place the little hearts all along the shape. With a little shadow added, you have a fun frame. The shadow is only added to the chain, so you can add your own shadow to the whole frame if you want.
Threading your favorite ribbon manually around a frame is very tedious and hard to do precisely, but this script will allow you to do it using any straight ribbon you already have.
For a sampler, I simply am offering one layered template made with the lace ribbon in the preview. Everything is left on unmerged layers so you can use the template and modify it as you want. You can punch a whole in the center, or clip some fancy papers on it, or replace it by your favorite photo, like in the preview.
The Crochet Lace edges have been so popular in the past that I am back again with another set. These are extracted photos that needed to be edited to make them really seamless.
As a sample, I wanted to show you how the two directional lace tubes can be used to create circular elements.
You might want some rough twine rope to tie some elements or to create a loose bunch of ropes, but you can't seem to find the right one, of the right color, or the right length or the right shape? These picture tubes allow you to draw your twine as long as you want, in any shape you want and with 10 different colors (and you can also colorize them).
As a sampler, I embellished a wood frame with the yellow twine tube, to match an old bouquet of flowers. The frame is in png format and about 2000 pixels wide. You just have to slide a photo on a layer under the frame and erase whatever exceeds on the outside. The frame already has the shadows included so you don't have to add anything!
Last week, I released some new corner punches and they were a hit! But not only that, I got some inspiration from Sue, who suggested some more punches for Christmas next year. But I didn't wait until next year! I started working on those immediately.
As a sample, I created a fun frame for you using one of the corner brushes. Since the brush was not making an exact circle, I added some parts to make it into a real circle. Then, using the locked transparency, I painted all the elements separately. It is not hard, but a bit tedious. Then, I simply added some colored edges inside the frame. The whole frame is about 3200 pixels wide so you can size it down as needed.
In traditional paper scrapbooking, there are tools that allow the user to punch the corners into intricate shapes. They are great if you want to use the same size for all the projects you do. In digital scrapbooking (or card making), you now can use similar "punches" simply by using the eraser tool and those fancy "corner punches" shapes. This is the fourth set of those brushes.
As a sample, this week, I created this fun frame (and matching template so you can use it with other colors/papers/effects).
