    Default Christmas Ornament

    Instead of the shape challenge lets create a Christmas ornament. I know we have done something similar to this before but it's close ti Christmas and I know it's probably too late but lets get a jump on decorating Gare's Christmas tree, assuming he will do this again this year.
    If you need any guidance see Gary P's excellent tutorial here: http://www.xaraxone.com/tutorials/dec07/index.html

    EDIT: I have an idea for one and will start on one right away. Which means I'll have to put my other project on the back burner again.

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

    Sorry Larry I forgot to post the .xar file for G.P's bauble, unfortunately I have not got the .xar file for the b4 bauble. However you can now export bauble 2 as a png. with True colour+Alpha 300dpi. and resize it then to whatever you want.

    Thank you Gary. I think that would make a very ornament.
