    Default Shapes Challenge

    A hot (35șC) summer’s afternoon and the best thing to do is sit doodling with Xara Xtreme with an electric fan on full blast and a glass or several of beer.
    I have been playing with simple shapes and used two different triangles to create this frame. I then put a rectangle with a contrasting shade of brown behind the design and the photo as the meat in the sandwich.

    The object of the challenge is to create something useful, like a pattern or texture that you could save for future use.

    Any graphics software is permitted, no less than two and no more than three different shapes allowed. Be as inventive as you like.
    Saludos,
    Bob.

    Here's another 2 Bob. Did one as a brush and the other was just drag+Ctrl+right mouse click and then a Clipview with a rectangle.

    Wallpaper is useful, though whether these wallpapers are of use is a different matter ... especially the Twister pattern!
