Sorry, Welshy. Just call it 'first-time' jitters! Regardless, the theme was gonna be Valentine's...

Hello Everyone and Welcome! I'm your new host(ess)! I've taken the liberty of designing a new SOTW logo. Nothing wrong with the old one...just thought we needed something 'fresh'. The theme this week is – "Valentine's Day " Chosen by @welshblue & @BoltBait (SOTW #180 1st & 2nd place winners) This week you're challenged to design and create a signature to celebrate 'Valentine's Day’. Examples can be viewed here. The deadline for entries is 7:00pm (UK time) 2:00pm EST on Saturday 24th of February 2018. To see how that equates to other countries, here is a link to the World Time Competition Rules Max dimensions are 500 x 200. Please NOTE: The forum limits signatures to 500 x 150, if it is too large do not try to use it as your regular signature. Please keep your signature family friendly. Please keep to the theme that has been set. You may modify or replace your image until the deadline! Don’t violate copyright laws with found images; links to source images would be courteous. Your entry must be made using Paint.net; please don't use an outside image editor and try passing it off as PDN work. There are three entries per entrant allowed. Don’t add links to larger versions of your signature. Your entry should be voted on based on the size laid out in rule #1. Please keep larger versions of your work for your gallery. Signatures may be either horizontal or vertical. The winner of the current SOTW gets to choose the subject for the next competition. Good luck all and thank you in advance for entering. Thanks to - chrisco97, Sozo, TheHowler, Nitenurse79, Chimay, DrewDale & Pixey for keeping this comp going in the past. Previous comps have included the following topics as listed Here compiled by MJW. This list will perhaps assist future winners with a theme. This thread is for posting your entries only. If you want to talk about any of the entries, you can do so in the discussion thread found here.

That is so cool @MadJik ! Other ways to use @MJW's Texture Rounder! I'll definitely have to try this. Thank you for sharing! (We'll make artists out of ourselves in no time!)

Beautiful composition @LionsDragon ! Love it! Combining techniques is sometimes a good thing!

Here's two more options. The Basic Edge Detect plugin, under Stylize: Edge Detection plugin by Argus, under Stylize: You can erase what you don't want. Both can be found in the Plugin section.
