    Default Mini tutorial: Easy Shamrocks

    Every year at this time I wind up doing something with shamrocks in it for someone I usually use the quickshape tool to do either 3 or 4 leaved shamrocks. I put together a quick Mini tutorial of my method and as an added bonus I threw in a palette of St. Paddy's Day greens in the .xar be sure you have delete unused colours and styles unchecked on the view tab of the options dialogue!

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    OK Frances I looked at your tutorial. This is what I did, one like you did and one of my own devising.

    Cool Larry! Looks good. The mini tutorial gives you a basic shape. it up to you to use your imagination to add colour and/or texture and use it in some creative way. I like the use of the circular fill in yours.

    I hope we'll see more St. Paddy's Day creations here!

    Great tutorial, the only problem is that shamrock only has 3 leaves.

    In my opening post I mentioned that the process works for 3 or 4 leaved Shamrocks (or Clovers)

    Fair enough, but there still is no such thing as a 4 leaf shamrock.
    I'm really not trying to have a go at you, you do a terrific job on here and it's very much appreciated.
