Turned out very well Lula - all your Gimping is of a very high standard. :clap

If the first attempt doesn't work as well as you hoped, when patterned, it is worth repeating the plug-in one ot two times to see if things can be improved.

Lula, that is such a lovely pattern!

Skinnyhouse, not only are you a great font tool creator, now also great at pattern tools!

Thank you Skinnyhouse and Pat for your compliments.
I just have fun like you with Gimp and this is possible thanks to
the authors of the plug-ins and scripts. :clap

Thank you Pat Level_0 and Lula.

Pat:
Of course the real reason for writing the plug-in was to use it for Custom Fonting purposes (as if you hadn't guessed).
