Add a touch of nature to any project with the new Moss & Lichen script for PaintShop Pro. This script transforms any vector shape into a realistic organic element covered with one of five different textures, ranging from spiky moss and feather moss to dark and white lichen. Whether you are creating woodland scenes, fantasy designs, titles, frames, or unique embellishments, these natural textures can give your projects a rich and overgrown look in just a few clicks.

To complement this week's release, download a free set of three Moss & Lichen Frames. Each frame features a different texture and shape, making them perfect for showcasing nature photos, outdoor adventures, woodland scenes, or any project that could use a touch of organic texture.

Although you can add a serged edge on any shape (with the Stitched Edges #1), you can now add a blanket stitch around your elements. Starting with a vector shape, you can choose to have long or short stitches and you can pick any color for the thread. The end result is left on unmerged layers so you can tweak that thread color by changing the blend mode as needed.
For a sampler, I created some basic set of digits that are stitched for you. Each digit is about 500 pixels high so you can resize them as needed.
Looking for a creative way to give your elements a warm, handmade feel? The Crochet Texture 1 script lets you turn any vector shape into a realistic crochet piece! With detailed textures and edging, your shapes will look like they've been stitched with yarn — perfect for cozy, crafty projects.
To give you a little sample of what this script can do, here's a freebie made with the Crochet Texture 1 script: a simple crocheted flower in sunny yellow, using a ribbed fill and a matching edge. It’s perfect to tuck into a kids’ layout, a cozy winter scene, or even a handmade card project.
