Dingbatty
Most of us have at least a few dingbat fonts on our computers, those with windows certainly have Wingdings installed.
I've made this desert island scene using a lower case "e" from the wmtrees1 font for the palm tree, and the same letter for the sun's corona using the WhirligigOne Regular font. I used the Alien Skin Xenofex 2 Demo - "Crumple" live effect on the sea and the sand.
I achieved the multi coloured effect on the tree by converting it to editable shapes, and ungrouping a few times then breaking the shapes apart. Doing this also gives a solid tree shape, which I used for the shadow.
No rules, use as many dingbats or other fonts as you like and any tools in the Xara toolbox. Create anything you want.
A great source of free dingbats available for download here:http://www.fontgarden.com/dingbats.php
Saludos,
Bob.
