Draw Fun - Bluejay Tag


Do not reproduce or duplicate this tute. This means no rewording or laying out the steps a little differently, and then calling it your idea. It's still copying - Give me a break! If you think the tag is nice enough to have made several, the fair thing to do is post _this page, doncha think?

Snaggers - You are welcome to make the tag, but do NOT post any of these images in ANY groups, webby, Yahoo or MSN!

Image Magic

Snowflake is flakey.ttf & is at Specialty Fonts under Christmas. Scroll to bottom and click on dingbats. CCP the ttf into your find box. Check the charset & make a note of the 2 letters you want to use.

Thanks to Laura from Sherry's NG for these beautiful jays.

CCP the url for the jays .


At IM make a 400 x 400 xc, meta color=none. Paint it black.

Go to draw - choose ellipse from the drop bx. This will stay the same throughout.

FIll color = white -- no stroke

Co-ordinates    +130+180 +100+90 +0+360


Draw again,

Change only the co-ordinates to:

+200+240 +100+90 +0+360


Resize to 400x370!


Composite the jays WEST +30+0 using MULTIPLY.


Go to annotate

First snowflake. ( I used letter f <--lower case F )

NorthEast +120+50

Point size = 100

Fill color= #2A72E0


Second snowflake ( I used letter y )

SouthWest +50+40

Same fill color


Trim image. You can then add as much black border as you will need to annotate any message and your name. Since it's a little early for Christmas, I did just my name.

Have fun!
