\"cass-TextOverlay\"<\/a>I have seen overlays in stores and on various blogs, but there is so much *I* would like to see on an overlay and i can never find exactly the right thing.<\/p>\n

Of course, i can never find an overlay with the name of my kids, or the place where i spent my vacation.<\/p>\n

It is easy to create a single little tile with the text and use it as a fill pattern, but that is pretty simplistic and for a pattern, it kind of lacks originality.<\/p>\n

This is when Martine said she would like to have a script to create her own overlays using any text she wanted, with any font too.<\/p>\n

And now, this Paintshop Pro script is exactly what she was looking for. Not only this script will create a simple pattern using the text, but it will also create 4 more seamless tiles using the same text.<\/p>\n

Sure, you can do it manually, but i can tell you that some of those tiles are quite tricky to get aligned perfectly, when you do it manually. That is the beauty of scripts!<\/p>\n

Grab this script in the store: Text Overlay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What text would you want to use to create an overlay? Tell me in the comments below and i will randomly pick a winner to get this script for free. Remember that if you purchase the script, you can still enter: if you win, you will get a future new release!\u00a0Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here<\/a> and it is free (and you only get one email per week).<\/p>\n

\"cass-TextOverlay-Valentine\"<\/a>For the month of February just at our doorstep, i created 3 overlays for you with a loving theme: Valentine.<\/p>\n

I started with the simple sentence \"Be my VALENTINE\", and i ran the script twice: once, i used the option 2 (alternating) and once with the option 4 (zigzag).<\/p>\n

Once i had the seamless tile from the zigzag option, i used it to fill a full size image, and i chose to change the angle to 45 degrees for a fun effect..<\/p>\n

For the option 2, i also used the tile to floodfill a full size image.<\/p>\n

Then, on a copy of the last image, i added a heart shape mask to make a fun heart frame.<\/p>\n

You get all three overlays in this sampler.You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page.<\/p>\n

What will you create with these overlays, or with the script itself?<\/p>\n
