Manipulated pattern

I love creating patterns using gradients. The original pattern I duplicated and used a gradient to fill then dropped the blend mode to Hard Light. and merged visible. Geometric Circle will give the shape.

Whimsical

As the title says, just a whimsical little image created from a number of  tube and scrap elements I have made at one time or another.

Re sizing.

18 years ago I enjoyed being with Paintshop Pro groups. Most of us were on Dial-up so you could go make a cup of tea and come back still not finding your page up. For this reason graphics were restricted to very small sizes. 400x400px and few kilobytes on average. I have saved everything mostly in layers. Yesterday I used a slightly more recent, as in 2008 image and resized it by 200% using smart size. This is the result. Most likely not suitable for printing. However I am going to test that.
