    I guess your wondering, "thought he was leaving on a trip", well, I had a senior moment last week and announced my vacation a week early.............So I leave this wednesday the 10th. That's what working the night shift does to your brain.

    So I'm still here, I used an image of a flowering cactus from Arizona, cropped it to my liking, flipped it, cropped again, used distort: polar co-ordinates - rectangular to polar, flipped again, created border to suit and here it is a finished product.
    I used a color wheel, which shows that the complementary color to red is green for inside border color.

    I like the resulting flip...it reminds me of a Navaho Belt Buckle.....

    Love these new smiley faces...ciao for now

    Belt buckle describes it well, very effective use of available techniques.

    Hey Paul,
    Are you old enough for a senior moment? The metallic look and bold colors put this over the top! Screams arizona!
