Thanks for the reference @AndrewDavid but you did not have to. When I wrote that, I was just repeating what others, more experienced and knowledgeable users wrote before me. @IHaveNoName, I read in the forum recently (I looked but I can't find it now), a discussion about making the drop-down fonts list in PDN behave like the one in MS Word - i.e. list the most recently used fonts at the top, sort of like favourites.

heheheh... Seeing the theme for the current SotW competition, I remember my Signature of the Season I posted last year.

Great entries! Congratulations to @lynxster4 and all the winners. I like @Ladybug's first entry best. I'm sorry I'm too busy these days to enter the competitions but I still enjoy all your efforts.

Read here (<- click) for Shape Styles.

Congratulations to all who entered! Very good entries with very little between them. Shame that so few members take part or vote.

Crashes no more.

Works fine, as expected. Thank you @MJW.

Yes, congratulations to @Pixey, @lynxster4, @barbieq25, @DrewDale and @Ladybug. My favourite is @barbieq25's first entry, which set a high bar for all. Thank you for your kind words. I did have something like your entries in mind but realised I could not get anything as good without it being too much like yours. So I went the "clever" way 😁

Let's not forget @toe_head2001's Jigsaw Puzzle plugin.

If I understand you right, there are many ways to achieve this effect. The simplest is to use a plugin called Cyanotype, part of KrisVDM's Plugin Pack. Adjustments > Hue/Saturation and Adjustments > Curves will give you more control as would plugins such as Color Balance, Gradient Mapping, Duotone Ink on Paper and many others (Plugin Index).

Congratulations to all winners, especially @barbieq25 for a well deserved first place. I was really hard to vote for this competitions as so many entries deserved a vote. Thank you @lynxster4 for your time and effort in hosting this.

Plugins never used before: @MadJik's Random Mazes Random Maze #1 for the text and Random Maze #2 for the background.

Download link works fine with Firefox 87 (latest) and Microsoft Edge 89 (latest).

@Ego Eram Reputo, TR's Custom Random Filler appears in the Index as TR's Custom Shape Filler .

There is a plugin by @TechnoRobbo that does just that: TR's Custom Random Filler I've used it a number of times, mostly to create backgrounds. You'll need to create your own a Sprite Sheet with the desired shapes / images.

For "exact same height text" text use the same font and size. For the exact same position in a layer: - Use any of the alignment plugns ( e.g. @xod's Align Object or @KrisVDM's Object Align ) to align your text at one of the canvas edges - Use @MadJik's Paneling plugin to place the text in the precise position you need to. The effect values will remain the same every time you run the plugin in the same PDN session.

My personal favourite and one I use quite often is @MadJik's Frames:

Thank you @Pixey for hosting this competition and congratulations to everyone who entered. Some very fine entries in this one and I think this must be the most competitive one I remember. I like @lynxster4's "wooden" King best. Competitions are fun but plugins should definitely have priority, thank you.

This should help you install the plugins: Install Plugins (<- click) Additional reading: How to Install Paint.NET Plugins (<- click) ... and ... If you use the Paint.NET Search on the main page of the forum will usually help you get answers faster than waiting for someone to reply here. Also, pressing F1 on your keyboard while using PDN will open the online documentation in your default browser. EDIT: @Pixey beat me to it 😁

1. Duplicate object layer. 2. Use Rotate/Zoom+ on new layer. 3. Duplicate new layer 4. Ctrl+F (repeat last Effect) 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed.
