Do you like the idea of creating your own complex seamless pattern? Do you want to make sure elements are not overlapping? Do you want a balanced distribution of the elements? Do you want to avoid too many blue buttons grouped together? It is sometimes hard to get that balance while making sure that the pattern is really seamless and does not show visible gaps.
This script will help you as it will let you tweak the placement of the elements through the process without guesswork.

As a free sample, I created this seamless "tile" from holiday picture tubes and this script. The tile is 1500x1500 pixels so you can resize it however you want, and you can add your own background color for different results.

Do you have a project showcasing something sweet? Do you want to get some special shapes as a treat?
For a free sample, I created a complete alphabet using a fat font for some delicious treats and a chocolate wafer. There is no ice cream or icing on them, but you can add your own afterward.
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.
Balloon twists are often used as decorations in different festive events, whether it is a wedding, a birthday, an anniversary, graduation, a welcome back event, etc. We can see them as tall columns, but also as arches or like hanging banners.
As a sample, I used the Red/White balloons and placed them along the path of a heart using the VectorTube script. You can use this heart to frame a photo or a poem. Remember to add some faint shadows!
If you have a sweet tooth, you will love these tubes that will allow you to get these marshmallow twists in any shape of length you want. Make some bite-size treats, or long strings for sharing with friends.
For a sample of this product, I created a fun oval frame using the four-color twist along with the VectorTube script to place them along the edges. Of course, I had to tweak a bit to "hide" the end of the twist as it was not seamless but I think the result is pretty good, don't you think?
We never have too many bows in our stash because it is important to have some variety. Whether you are a scrapbooker or a designer, this is another tool that will allow you to get a new bow from any other straight ribbon.
With celebrations coming up in July, I created a translucent blue, white and red ribbon and ran the script to generate the bow. This one is in png format, and the zip file will also include the straight ribbon.
Do you have a sweet tooth? Whether you do or not, having some digital candies to use to embellish various projects can be fun, and even more if you can choose the color palette and even the text on them. Once you have a series of candies, you can even export them as picture tubes to scatter them around.
As a sample, I created chocolate candies with the whole alphabet, so you can write names and places with them.
Metallic ropes are common staples during the holiday season, whether it is to hold a tag, tie a gift or wrap around the railing. This week, you can get 20 different ropes (10 colors in gold and silver) that you can use with any kind of project.
As a sample, I created some basic holiday felt shapes, outlined with that metallic rope. You can do what you want with those shapes, like decorating them or use them as-is on your project.
Although you might want a regular pattern of brickwork, sometimes, some irregularities are wanted for a different look.
As a sample of what can be done with this script, I am offering you a set of three full-size brick walls, in monochrome colors that you can use for your summer projects. Use it as a background or cut it into a frame or other shapes you need.
Although it is fairly easy to create this type of patterns with triangles, it is also quite time-consuming and could require a great deal of precision too.
As a sampler, I created a full-size paper with primary colors (plus green which always seem to be "missing" from the three primary colors). This paper is saved in .png format so you can add another color underneath to get very different results. You can also adjust the brightness or the saturation for another option of changing the colors.
