Congratulations you three! Such lovely fractals!

I'm excited! (and definitely smiling ulli) Thanks everyone! Congratulations to ulliroyal and tutri, your entries were great. I always enjoy seeing everyone's entries.

Thank you all! I really wanted to know if there were any major computer problems caused by the new version before I downloaded it. I'm not in a guinea pig mood this week. G But I can tell from your comments that there aren't so tomorrow I'll get it and play. I'm not particularly interested in doing animations myself, but I am intrigued by the explorer feature.

Congratulations to all!

Yes, sammi, I did import the flame into UF on a transparent background. Then, from what I remember, I duplicated the flame several times on different layers and manipulated each for the final effect. You can select by color in UF but it's a lot more difficult than in photoshop, which I've got - an old 6 which I am happy with as I can't see anything in the current expensive upgrade that I can't live without. Thank you all for your help! I'll try your suggestions and let you know how things turn out.
