Aaaaa... silhouettes, nice touch Molly.

Beautiful,glad to see so much Christmas spirit. perhaps someone could add the little drummer boy even though he's not in the Bible. Always loved the song though.

yes that would be cute but as you said it doesn't quite fit the era.

The xcf file is now over 5MG, so here's a link to download the new "Nativity_Scene #12" xcf file... https://www.dropbox.com/s/89tpsh0qzteqv ... e%2012.xcf

so can anyone make changes to this?

would this work for the milk bucket. this is from some work i did a while back. if it's not what you are looking for i understand. i added the xcf file below for you if you can use it.





very nice Rd. I see which one fits the best, I downloaded yours and mine , thanks

finally!! i wanted to make some angels from the start, but when i had made them and just finished putting them in the new and improved composition was posted - so i had to start all over again and now i'll just add wwllace's cows to the attached xcf. just a moment, folks!

Nice looking angels AnMal!

You're welcome and attachment size limit is 5MB if it's larger it won't upload, at least that is what has happen to me. Molly seem to be able to upload an xcf file larger then 5MB and I can't figure out why that is.
I have to use "Dropbox" to add a link for the download of the xcf file.

wallace; ah-haaaa! so that's it! thank you, brother, for saving me more worries about the internet Connection and my computer and all sorts of other things . i never thought about that explanation before!

See this screenshot, read the sentence in red letters just below where it says "Reply to Post"...

Yes. Attachments are limited to 5MB.

You can compress the xcf with 7-Zip and cut the size by ~50%. I was able to compress the last posted Nativity Scene of 6.5MB to 3.3MB using 7-Zip.

It's available to Linux users as well.

For Fedora..
yum install p7zip

Good idea, forgot about using a compressed zip and 50% reduction is just what we need.
Thanks Tux.

It's looking lovely. Molly - your latest additions balance it all nicely. Great work everybody! Excellent work on the angels AnMal.

molly and wallace: good work on your additions! it's really looking good now - i agree with erisian that the shepherds to the right balanced the composition nicely. but when do we get to see that lantern lit? not until christmas day?

erisian: i'm glad you could see the images now - and thanks .

Thank you AnMal and Erisian, I have been talking it over and we think the lantern doesn't fit with the theme. Who ever does the next installment can remove that layer and we can come up with maybe a bonfire or a oil lantern but I don't even know if they had oil back then, that is why I put the candle inside........Any ideas?
