Getting close to fall; just have some fun today. Created several of these today (on different forums I frequent) and thought I would post one here too. I only get wacky like this a few times a year (i.e., 340 days a year; the remaining days I'm normal; lol). :)

Just remember Rod, you can always wear a coat/jacket but not an air conditioner, but I am biased towards the South where a typical January day may mean short sleeve T-Shirt and some sweats. lol

Well i haven't had to turn on the furnace yet, but i have picked all the dried bean pods for next year so it's coming soon i am afraid. :)
I probably will be using my electric fireplace a lot this year as we saved tons of money last year with it.

Glad I don't live where you do Rod. Dad was mad last year that we had to turn the furnace on before December. lol

Anyway, still having more fun. Hope Tux won't be to angry with me for taking up too much storge space, but still want to keep these PNG. :)

Thanks O; forgot to say that I used whirl pinch then dup and horizontal flip for the second pattern used for the second sphere. Enjoy being wacky, but I seldom am crazy (again, only 340 days out of the year). ;)

Thanks Tux; had fun yesterday doing these, but now I'm doing pen and ink renders (other forum). Also going to "other sites" per earlier PMs. lol

Thanks Rod; I would share more, but reluctant to share any cococtions that use other programs outside opensource here. When I use PostworkShop Pro, DAP, or (dare I say it) PS (lol), I have other outlets for those. Don't use PS much, but there are a few actions that I really do like from PanosFX that I do launch CS for those occasions. Haven't played much with Pixelbender, but there are some cool Pixelbender presets that I do like too (there is a free stand-a-lone program, but some presets only appear to work inside PS). :)
