Image Magic. . I love playing with ellipse at IM. I thought this little "celtic looking" doo-dad could be added to for some really great tags. It's also real pretty all by itself. You can make it any colors you like, I used black for the bg. Make an xc, 372x372. Scroll to paint functions and choose reset, color, & type black in text box. I really urge you to decide what color you want for your bg, and use it, rather than drawing on a transparent bg. Jaggies, Ick! Go to DRAW and choose ELLIPSE from the dropdown. The coordinates for the first color - I used plum, stroke width 2, no fill. +10+10 +186+186 +0 +360 ---- click draw Go to transform and FLOP the image. Back to draw and repeat these coordinates. +10+10 +186+186 +0 +360 ---- click draw Go to transform and FLIP the image. Back to draw and repeat these coordinates. +10+10 +186+186 +0 +360 ---- click draw Go to transform and FLOP the image. Back to draw and repeat these coordinates. +10+10 +186+186 +0 +360 ---- click draw Second Color: Go to draw and change the color of the stroke. I used seagreen. Change JUST the 1st set of coordinates in the text box. Like so: +30+30 +186+186 +0 +360 ---- click draw Repeat all of the above steps, flopping, drawing, and flipping, until you have completed the four corners. Resize if desired. Use ! after first number, like this: 350!x350, and choose cubic from the filter dropdown. Keeps the lines nice! Out and save as a jpg. Have FUN!
