Here's an Aussie bend on the previous one above with gum leaves and Christmas colour theme. I love how your morphs inspire you you for another and another. I'm waiting to see yours.

Good one Veeness. Yes they are fun. Maybe I'll have to put the scribble I am working on, on hold so I can do one.

Here is kind of a Christmassy one, OK not Christmassy but at least it fits the letter and the season.

Thanks Veeness.
I did two things on the snow area.
1. cloned it and used fractal cloud trannsparecy and darkened to my liking, then moved it behind the snow man and in front of the snow.
2. Grouped all the snow areas and applied the live effect diffuse vertically. That gave it that grainy look, particurly noticeable on the edges.
