The 2014 tree-trimming collective effort!

Here is a gold and crystal snowflake for the tree. I used Eye Candy Chrome for the gold and a bitmap fill for the Crystals. The EC effect is locked so it will display fine if you don't have The eye candy filters.

What a brilliant response to this thread.
Gary's got his work cutout!

Frances: I think Gary said that the images should be 175px in width?!
I think it would help Gary, if we provide the correct size images.

I love it Stygg, I'm glad the bow was useful! The present looks wonderful!

@ Frances -- Love that gold and crystal snowflake, it would also make a spectacular tree topper!
@ Christine -- Nice tinsel trimming!
@ Veeness -- A super-cute koala! Merry Christmas & Happy Summer down there!

You'll all good, folks. My contribuition will be a minor one, becaseu there are so many beautiful pieces here that I might not have space to add one of my own!

Besides, I did the tree, right?


Be back soon with the updated tree.

Veeness, I was going to post an upside-down gingerbread man in honor of "Down Under". But thought better of it.

Thanks for doing this, Gary - a lot of work for you. The tree looks great, wonderful decorations. Here's yet another star which anyone can use.....

[Gare]

Whew!

And I mean "whew!"

You folks are keeping me hopping with all these beautiful gifts, decorations, and background elements!

I had to trim the backgrounds from a few of the pieces I hope I did them well for you. Here's where we are on the 14th. I think Frances' star is the best entry to top the tree, do we all? The detail, the glory, the majesty...




I'm almost never serious on this forum (because I don't think one is supposed to be), but let me tell you in all sincerity that my heart just swells at all the beautiful work and time we members of TalkGraphics have invested in a collaborative piece. I think it bonds us and brings us together, even if only for the holidays in a way that is the very best of any forum I've ever been on.

All of you take a bow.

My Best,

Gary

I think I may have uploaded wrong somehow of my previous pics? Not sure why it hasn't shown a place holder or png reference. I also wasn't sure how to repost, should I have gone back to my previous post and edited with the new file>?

Anyway...I decided that Konkynut koala needed a Christmassy hat which I forgot to add, to put on your tree project, if you allow Aussies on the tree?

The ornaments you all posted are beautiful.
