That's very interesting @AndrewDavid. Thank you. Of course, it would only work on completely circular pieces. But suddenly, I now have an idea forming in my head about irregular pieces and using 'circular text'. Mmmmm.... 🤔 I'll have to give my idea a try this weekend. Thanks again! 🥰

You are my hero @toe_head2001. Thanks for fixing. Works perfectly.

Thank you @barbieq25! Nice to see you back on. 🤗

What a beautiful suggestion! I love that idea @Ladybug. Thank you for the kind words. 🥰 Thank you @Vagabondi. I'm such a perfectionist, it bites me in the behind sometimes. 🤣 Gambling on the brain, perhaps? 😘 Thank you @Pixey for your wonderful comment. 🤗 I'm not sure Texture Shader would do the trick...maybe Texture Merger and a lot of experimentation? 🤔 Thank you to @MJW, @otuncelli and @Red ochre for the the reps. You guys are the greatest! 🤩

This piece I call 'Mosaic Magic'. It was very time-consuming and I'm going to try and find an easier way to do it. I used TR's 'Paste Frame' around shapes I made, then a lot of 'Rotate/Zoom'. Any suggestions are welcome. In the meantime, please enjoy! 💖

The poll is now open for 'Chaos Theory'. It will be closed on Saturday, March 5th, 2022 - 2:00 PM (EST) & 7:00 PM (UK Time). World Clock Thank you, everyone, for your beautiful entries. May the best win! 17 entries...WOW! Good luck everyone. 🍀

Congrats @Pixey for sweeping 1st and 2nd place! 🤩 Lovely glasses from everyone. Thank you for hosting. ❣️

Hi @toe_head2001. I need to report an error message in ShapeMaker plugin. I am now getting this when I save the completed shape to a .dhp file. This happens in the stable build Rick just released, 4.3.8, and also happened in the beta version. Version 4.3.7 saved the .dhp file just fine. You can still export the file as .xaml and it works, but you cannot save to .dhp, which I always do in case I need to make some adjustments. Hope this can be fixed. Thank you!

Congrats on your Galleria nomination @Red ochre! Well-deserved! 👏 ☺️

Thank you @Pixey and @Manc!! Same to you! ❤️

Hahaha! I only remember Valentine's Day because it's my brother's birthday. Thank you for the rep, Red. 🥰 Thank you @Vagabondi and @Ladybug for the reps! Hope you have a wonderful day. 🥰

A little Texture Merger and Texture Shader. Happy Valentine's Day!

WOW! @Red ochre All three are amazing. Your attention to detail is unmatched. All the dragons have an iridescent glassy texture to them! Is the Family squabbling? 😆 Love the coloring of the sky in Blue Dragon and the dragon is positively magnificent. I don't even have words for the fruit image except to agree with @Ladybug that the fruit has a wonderful 'waxy' look. The way you used a plugin to give the setting a 'glossy' look really highlights the piece. Well done, Red!! 💖 🤗
