Description

One Apo flame for the swirl and another for the background. Put together in PSP7. With this one, I was experimenting with adding polygons.

A few of you guys have asked how I get my flames onto a background image, so I wrote up a quick text tutorial for the way I do it. I'm sure there are other methods, but this is the formula I follow. If you're comfortable with installing plugins within Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop (I'm not familiar with any other graphics programs so I apologize in advance if you don't use either one) then this is a relatively painless way to end up with your APO flame on a transparent layer so that you can add the background of your choice.

The text file can be downloaded here. I hope some of you will find it useful! :) And, as always, thanks so much for having look and for your comments on my other stuff!! *Hugs!!* Helen

This is one of the most elegant images I have seen in a long time Helen. Your use of color and composition in this are simply stunning. I can see this one hanging in a museum.
