Stylized trees are a perfect addition to your scrapbook pages, cards, and posters, and now you can create them effortlessly with this script! Every run generates a unique tree design, using the papers you’ve opened in your workspace. No two trees will ever be the same!
The best part? Each section of the tree is left on a separate layer, giving you complete freedom to tweak the design. Replace some pieces with photos, adjust colors, or even turn sections into mask groups for extra creativity.
How will you use these beautiful paper trees? As festive embellishments, striking focal points, or part of a seasonal layout? The possibilities are endless!

For a sample, I created one tree using a single paper (notice that there are some variations if lightness in different sections). All the sections are left unmerged so you can tweak them, replace them with other papers, or even with photos.
The file is a PSD format for most users to be able to use.

You can easily create some simple polkadot patterns with PaintShop Pro, but as soon as the pattern is not as simple, it can become a headache to create.
For a sample, I greated two matching papers with the same 7 colors, one in straight lines, and one in zigzag. They are full-size so you can either size them down or trim them to suit your project.
Now, with this script, you can create your own papers using the brush you want, with the colors you need. And all that will only take a second for you to get either a full-size paper or a seamless tile to use for other projects.
For a sampler, I created two summertime papers, one with flip-flops and one with cameras that will be perfect for any activity you take pictures of. Each one is full-size in jpg format.
You can now create unique chevrons papers without having to rely on a template or reusing something over and over. The script can use up to 6 colors for a unique palette, and will pick the colors randomly to draw the chevrons.
For a sample, I simply created some greyscale papers that you can colorize the way you want. Use the Colorize command or the Hue/Saturation/Lightness command. One page has more subtle variations and the other has bolder contrast.
You can use individual stips of "papers" in different colors to showcase quotes, phrases, or individual lines of a poem but doing that manually is time-consuming and tedious. And adding extra details means that you have to repeat the process for each strip, one by one.
For a sample, I created phrase strips on the Birthday theme, using the color palette for the May blog train at DigitalScrapbook.com. This way, you can go on this thread, and get other goodies that will match.
Creating a seamless background design is fairly easy when using PaintShop Pro, but covering a whole surface in random design is much more challenging. In addition, trying to avoid overlaps is an added difficulty.
For a sample of this script, I am sharing two full-size papers: one for your winter projects and one for summer. For the winter paper, I manually added the white pompoms while I locked the transparency on the layer. It is a little tedious but the result is worth it. For the summer paper, I used a dolphin brush in blues and added a few starfish afterward. Both papers are available with a background (in jpg format) and without (in png format).
In order to create a paper fringe with PaintShop Pro, you will need to cut your element multiple times, and then, warp each piece one by one. But there is a problem: how do you warp one piece of paper without warping the next one? Well, there is a way to do it, but it is tedious, which is why this script will be a time saver.
As a sample, I created this square frame from four strips of paper that were run through the script, one by one, and then put together to make the frame. I added a little contrasting border to add some interest. Now, you can showcase your favorite photo.
Sometimes, it can look interesting to have a series of paper strips of different colors or patterns to serve as a background for a project. However, that can be tedious and time-consuming.
As a sample, I chose to create a series of strips, aligned to the bottom, and turned them into a template so you can use it with your favorite papers. These strips are grouped so you can copy and paste them onto your project in one step (instead of copying them one by one!).
Creating a pinwheel out of paper might sound simple using a template, but would NOT respect the correct orientation when the paper is flipped.
As a sampler, I used papers from a kit called Summer Fun from Janet Kemp and created four simple pinwheels. You can get all the matching papers from this kit 
These chevron patterns can be that additional effect you want in a paper. You can choose to use any color palette, whether it is bright, contrasting, pastel or monochrome.
As a sampler, I ran the script on a full-size paper (3600x3600 px) and chose option 3 for the chevron pattern. I picked the color palette from the July Blog Train at DigitalScrapbook. You get one paper with a white outline and one with a black outline.
