Shiny Christmas Tree

[barrym67]

I made this tree in Xara and did the finishing touches in PSP. I posted two versions of the image on Stock Exchange, a free photo webiste and the version without "Merry Christmas" on it has been downloaded 1500 times in a day and a half. It was also used by LG Indonesia for an advert. It came out quite nicely. I used a plugin in Xara to get the shiny effect.

Thanks everyone for the comments and I wish you all a Merry Christmas too! I was most pleased with the outcome of that. I must say that it was a real pain to work with in Xara, as it was very heavy on my PC resources, every time I move or enlarged a ring because of the plugin or rendering, but was well worth it in the long run!
