In the store, we have some garlands that are bold and full, but this time, we offer you some more delicate variations on those garlands. You get 10 different colors with white ends. In addition, there is one gold and one silver set for more festive projects.
Use those picture tubes along a path using the VectorTube script, or draw freehand to create frames, texts, and doodles.

For a sampler, I drew the text for this Happy Holidays sign using the gold tinsel tube. I also used the VectorTube script to outline the sign. Each section is on an individual layer so you can use the sign without the text, or the text without the sign. You can even replace the red background with something else.

You can add one of our 6 types of wood fence, in just about any size but also, in any length. You can draw those fences on a perfectly straight line or follow a slight hill.
As a sampler, I created one long fence (4000 pixels) and added some vines and a lovely cat. It is in PNG format so you can use it with any program.
You can draw any design in one of the 20 picture tubes of icing. You can hand draw any design or use one of the included four preset shapes as paths. Or you can use your own vector work to create a custom path, and then use the VectorTube script to add the icing evenly.
For a sample, I created two phrases (with separate words) that you can use for any summer project. Arrange the words as you want, since they are individual files in PNG format. No shadow is included so you can add your own.
Time flies and in the fall, those vines will often change color. These picture tubes are made from vines that have already turned to a pink or orange color due to the season.
As a sampler, I created a large frame, covered it with chicken wire (from the Chicken Wire tubes) and added some vines, and some clothespins to hold some photos. These photos are showing as a mask group so you won't have to do any cutout of your photo to place it in the frame.
Whether you want to create a nautical project or find a way to have a different type of background, you can use these picture tubes. They are completely seamless so you can juxtapose them on top of each other to make a tall net. Then, you can use the Warp Mesh, or the Deformation map to give some movement to the net. Finally, add elements to your page, whether they are beach elements or photos you will attach with clothespins.
For a sampler, I created a full-size 3600x3600 image with a neutral color netting. You can erase some parts, you can use the Warp Brush, or Deformation map to make waves, etc. It is a png format so you can add whatever background you want, or even thread ribbons, vines or other elements through the mesh.
If you ever braided ribbons in the past, you know that they could make for a nice long element that can then be used in various shapes. This is the same that you can do with PaintShop Pro and this set of picture tubes.
As a sampler, I just made a basic oval shape and using the VectorTube script, added some green braided ribbon. I added a ribbon bow (which is from Digitalscrapbook.com) and colorized it to match the ribbons (it was light blue initially).
How about some climbing vines in the background for your next spring or summer project? These picture tubes will partially cover a wall of your choice, with vines. You can change the step to make it bushier if you prefer.
For a sampler, I created a lattice frame where I added two vines. I created a path with the Pen tool, where I wanted the vines to go and ran the VectorTube script to place all the leaves perfectly on the path. I repeated the process with a green vine and the pink one.
You can now decorate any element or even any photo with these lit lights picture tubes. You can embellish wreaths, trees, tags, but you can also add those to a photo of a house. Make it a night scene and those lights will really pop.
For a sample, today, I created these large digits from the Spruce picture tubes and added some rainbow lights. Each digit is quite large, which allows you to resize them to suit your need.
With very little effort, you can now add some delicate tatting lace along the edge of your frames, mats, etc. You can use any one of the eight picture tubes and hand draw the lace in a free-flowing style, but you can also add it to any vector path for a very regular design.
For this week's freebie, I created a delicate oval frame with this tatting. I also added some gemstones to it for a unique effect.
You can use a simple piping bag to write text or draw some fancy ornaments, but if you are able to add some shell design, it would be even more fun and realistic, don't you think?
For a freebie, I created some PNG elements that are separate for you to combine in infinite ways, whether it is for a middle design or borders. Each element is large enough that you can cover a large area, but you can size down as needed.
