I know everyone must be terribly busy at this time of the year - but I'm hoping for more entries for the Christmas Garland Competition. Or ............... it can be delayed for a week, if enough members ask ....... I await your responses

Yes, a fantastic axe it is too . And this one changed dramatically Jolly Well done

Hi @pesent & Welcome to the forum. Yes, this happens when you import something that's bigger than your background. If so, you will have to resize the image, like so: and then use Image - Crop to selection - which will then make both layers the same size.

Oooo - they are SO gorgeous @Seerose and the first one is really stunning Great work! Hope you and your family have a Wonderful Christmas

Downloading now - it looks exciting and Thank You Rick

What colorful planets you have there Just a small pointer for you with this image there are some 'jaggies' visible. They would soon disappear if you used the AA's Assistant Plugin when you have finished the image before you flatten it

Thank you very much @Seerose and @welshblue

I'm gonna give this one a try - well done you . On my bucket list is ........... one day to make a plugin (but don't hold your breath.)

Oh Boy - they are both gorgeous @lynxster4 but I absolutely love the text in the first one. Did you make it to look 3D? It's fabulous - really . Hope you and your family have a wonderful Holiday Season

Yes, you can create an image like the lion - which will require a bit of work. 1. You could use either the line/curve tool, or the Shape Maker, which is a bit advanced and requires some time and effort and practice. ^ Clickable Here is a video of how to use Shape Maker 2. Once you have your outline, then you will need to paint it. Lastly, you could always trace it by hand, import the traced image into Paint.net, then color it. Good luck with your venture .

The theme this week is – "Christmas/Holiday Garland " Chosen by @lynxster4 (SOTW #177 winner) This week you're challenged to design and create a signature as ‘A Christmas/Holiday Garland’.

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.

Golly - that blue car looks really awesome - well done Good luck with your exams

Wow - wow - Wow! So clear and .... really cool

Congratulations @welshblue @moi and @MJW A gorgeous selection from everyone and they really will all look just perfect on a tree. Thank you @toe_head2001 for hosting

I just love it and - Yes - it does look like a scene from a mystery novel. Lovely rendition and those trees are beautiful

Very nice shapes for the two images - in fact - excellent

A little something to wish everyone on Paint.net A Very Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays for 2017. Sorry about a bit of 'banding' in the gif, but that's the Midora Plugin for you! I guess I used too many strong colors - plus it's a bit large. Everything made in PDN. Happy Holidays Everyone

Yummy - this looks just like a Sachertorte - a very clever rendition @MadJik

Fabulous new Shapes @lynxster4 - so purdy
