That's lovely Molly. You're getting the hang of the text I see. |

I am dangerously late to this party. Suffice it to say moving is a big pain in the backside, especially with four kids, pets, and two decades of crap no one in their right mind should hold onto.  I digress. This was a great result with a gold color.

So I was playing around with this tutorial Pixel Stretch Tutorial, mainly trying the Fx Foundry's Amazing Circles, when an effect happened that I thought might work here. The effect didn't work, but by chance in trying to remember the settings used, I got things wrong and this happened. I've checked back through the tutorial to see what I did differently and the only mistake I made was to create the Image at 512*512px instead of 600*600px, Hopefully like me you'll find the mistake a vast improvement on the glossiness.
