Although most bow scripts in the store are suitable for translucent or lacy ribbons, this one is not, at least, not for the whole bow. However, you can use an opaque ribbon for the knot and it will allow you to use that translucent ribbon on the loops. With the same script, you can also use a different ribbon for the knot, whether it is matching or contrasting.
You have lots of options to tweak the bow once it is completed by the script.

For a sampler, I am offering you the three bows from the preview: one with a single opaque ribbon, one with a translucent ribbon (and opaque knot) and one with two different opaque ribbons. These ribbons are in PNG format so you can use them in most graphic programs.

Yes, this is another bow script, but honestly, who can have too many different bows in their stash? This script will generate a bow that will be kind of droopy.
For a sample, I created three bows that would be suitable for Valentine Day's projects. I used various straight ribbons and colorized them to get that traditional red color for the occasion. Each bow is in PNG format.
If you want some variety in your supplies but still want something to match what you currently have, this is another script to create a bow from a straight ribbon.
For a sample, I used some ribbon templates from Marisa Lerin and colored them with some autumn colors. The freebie includes the three bows but also the matching straight ribbon I created for them so you can even use them with other scripts to create other types of bows and knots.
It is fairly easy to use a ready-made bow and maybe colorize it, but you still end up with the same shape, every time. Wouldn't you like to get more variety?
As a sample for this script, I ran it and used three different metallic rope tubes. You get three bows, about 800-900 pixels wide so you can resize them if needed.
This script will create a double bow out of a single thin ribbon. Although you can have the same ribbon for all the loops, you can also colorize the inside loops and tails to give the impression of using different ribbons.
For a sample, I used two ribbons from Janet Kemp (you can get them 
Bows are very versatile elements to use to decorate any project. From large bows to little ones, from single bows, to double or multiple, you have lots of options.
For a sampler, I created four bows from four colorized ribbons in an Easter color palette. I used a ribbon from Marisa Lerin and colorized it four times, then ran the script four times. You get the bows AND the matching ribbons so you can combine them into a single project if you want.
A simple bow might be all you need for your project, but how do you find the correct one? Using a ready-made bow and colorizing it might work but might also be a lot of work.
For a sample, I created three straight polkadot ribbons with holiday colors and ran the script to generate three matching bows. The straight ribbons are also included in the zip file so you can use them separately.
Using bows and knots can be quite versatile as long as you have variety. This is the 19th type of bow in the store (and we have knots too) so using your own straight ribbon, you will have the option to create some matching bows. The script uses a random location on the ribbon so if you run the script multiple times on a patterned ribbon, you will get different results.
As a sampler, I created six little bows using ribbons from Janet Kemp. I layered a grosgrain ribbon with lace and flattened both. Then, I ran the script. I then ran the script on the grosgrain ribbon alone (without the lace), and since the layers were not merged, I copied and pasted the knot part only to replace the one on the "lacy" bow. It is a little more work but it shows how versatile this script can be with unmerged layers.
Bows come in so many shapes and sizes. In your stash, you will never have too many bows! This is another one in our series of bows that you can create for your own projects.
For a sample, I created three organza ribbons and three bows with them. I also combined the individual loops from each bow, to make a three-color bow. That is something you can also do with the bows generated from this script since all the layers are left unmerged so you can replace or move them.
A variety of ribbons and bows is always a plus for everyone doing scrapbooking. Some bows are large, others are small. Some are stiff, others are droopy. Variety is always needed.
As a sampler, I started with two ribbons in fall colors and ran the script. One ribbon is 200 pixels and the other is 125 pixels so the two bows are of different sizes.
