The post New script – Shape Mosaic first appeared on Creation Cassel.]]> Turn any photo into a mosaic of repeated shapes instead of simple squares. Choose from a variety of shapes or even create your own for a completely custom result. Each piece keeps the color of the original image, while the shape pattern defines the overall look.

The transparent gaps lets you easily place any background behind it. Try different colors, gradients, or papers to instantly change the style of your mosaic without running the script again.
