Large Diamonds

Requirements:

PSP 7
Eye Candy 4000
free plug-in filters: Simple.
(opens in a new window)
a basic knowledge of PSP7
and a willingness to have fun :-)

1. Open a new image: 150 x 150 white

2. With your selection tool, set on rectangle, divide your square in half. Starting at 0,0 to 75. Flood fill with 2 different colors or 2 different shades. Then deselect before opening Eye Candy 4000.

You will get a different effect with either way you divide your square. It's up to you.

Go to effects, Eye Candy 4000 and use these settings for Swirl:

Now go to your effects, plug-ins, simple filters and apply these filters:

Zoom Out and Flip
Pizza Slice Mirror
Central Tile
Diamonds

The results are these. The one on the left was made by dividing your square vertically and the one on the right, horizontally. If you click on the horizontal one, you can see what it looks like as a background. I really like it as well.
