This is fun. Get rid of those winter blahs and make a spring garden. Hold down your mouse button and scroll around on the black. To clear it click the Reload button in your browser.

That's pretty nifty, O, and a great find. I'll have to send that link to my niece, she loves those.

I'm so curious as to how this works, what kind of programs are used.

Nice find O!

It was made with Flash 2-ton - but here i made this brush for all of you.

Just download the brush i attached and save it to your brushes folder and refresh your brushes.
If you want to edit the brush open it as an image file by right clicking on it in your brushes pallet.
Then re-save it as a Gimp Brush (animated) -the brush editor will then open and you can change all the settings (cells, ranks, and so forth.)

Enjoy!

Cool site O; I just made this one from the site, but I don't have a way to save the file, so printed it out as an eps file, opened it up in Ghostview and was supprised that the result was vector. Made it easy to create a hirez bitmap. Might try your brush later Rod. Thanks for the link and potentially the brush too.

Only about an hour or so.Biggest deal was getting the spacing correct. Thanks for checking it out. :tyspin
