A Butterfly Brush Flutterby

Not meant to be anatomically correct in terms of size, etc.
You can now build a collection of butterflies without harming them!
All images from public domain stock sites.

Forgot to mention, for the technically interested, it took about four minutes per animal to free it from its background. There are seventeen of them. You're welcome!

Thank you for the butterflies! So very nice of you to share. I know that sometimes it is very difficult to extract images from their backgrounds. Thanks again. I love butterflies!

Thank you so much

Thank you for the nice butterflies!
So, my butterflies are all over place.
I know what you may be thinking...cross-eyed 3D, I really enjoy them but no.
First I filled the canvas randomly using "structure chaos" dynamic.
Then I wrote something on it with straight stick letters.
The letters blend so perfectly over the BG that it may be impossible to decipher the message.
Just a weird OpArt steganography idea.

OK; posted this one last night and somehow it got disappeared. Hopefully won't this time. Took Qruq's brush to create a DAP preset for the result. Painted the background with one of the butterflies.

Qruqs,
Thank you so much for this butterfly brush.

Figured out a way to add micro-dimensionality to an otherwise flat brush by filling a base with larger butterflies and then grain merging top layer with the DAP output. Some addition tricks of the trade and voila. I guess I can still figure out new tricks despite getting old. lol

Now that's beyond awesome, Sallyanne; print it; sell it.

Also, for those that have DAP, I posted the DAP preset at the DAP forum.

Good to see those animals were put to good use.
