		This rose was, AGAIN, done with Custom Shape Brush in PI. I used Blade Pro to create the effects on the rose and just added a shadow. Heaven only knows what the settings were as I was "playing", but the possibilities with Blade Pro are endless.
This is just another example of one of my fave tools, the PI Custom Brush. That, coupled with Blade Pro, completed the rendering on the rose. Before the objects were merged, I used the Elliptical Gradient Fill Tool in Photo Impact and selected one of the blue palettes. Just the addition of using the Web Button Designer for the edges and a nifty idea for a greeting card (or whatever).
		This is the same rose Custom Brush Shape, rendered differently in Blade Pro and mounted on a piece of stained glass. I just used the R15 button to do a simple framing effect on it. No muss, no fuss!
Wow, I don't know why I've been making my graphics so huge, but this will give you an idea of a possibility for a border (and it does show the detail). That's why these pages are not labeled "Brag Pages", rather "Just for Fun Projects"! I had saved the orchids on a white background in this one, then merely used the PI Magic Wand, selected the white area and, once again, used Blade Pro.
