OK, I'm going through my scrap stash and let's just say, I have more bling than I thought.. and WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK HERE!!!! Unfortunately, PSE is a little more limiting....I tried making diamonds from my bling, but could not get the texture right. I think that is where CS2/3 comes in. Let's keep playing....

ooohhhhhhhhh
I like that one too. I will give it a try tomorrow. Not too cool on her star accent. But everything looks nice and round. That is what I was going for. Maybe I can keep the basics and add a silver layer style.
but hey, who doesn't like pearls.

Hi Kimi,
I was just reading your first post and I am unable to see anything from the pixentral url you put up. Can you repost for me what you are trying to make?
Thanks

Hi Jancy... I am afraid Pixentral is having issues today. Try back tomorrow and it should be back up and running. (hopefully)

Kimi, your original posted link for Pixentral was messed up and didn't paste right. I fixed it for you so it can be clicked on now. Here it is again.

Okay, how about this?

Thanks Kim!! I didn't catch it?

Reka... that is wonderful!! Now, do you have a way to share?

Great job Reka. Kimi, for now right click and do save image as. It is a .png file 50x50 px

Kimi, do you mean the technique, or the file? You can have both soon when I get back to my PC. Glad you like it!
