Hi! I'm posting in this and several other posts an alpha that I'd like to call Alpha Thanksgiving, just because the colors are pretty and fit the holiday.
Because the file will be big, I'm going to split the alpha into different installments. Two posts today, two on Monday, two on Tuesday and one with just numbers on Wednesday and it will be done. It's just uppercase and numbers.
So sorry about the time off.
Today I have for you a simple tag. I can have different uses: as a single item, used to show a thought or idea, or as a multiple item, where you print a single letter in each one (ex: SALE, LOVE, etc).
How many do we need, right? This one I was just going to turn into an overlay when I decided to use a grungy type style on the clip art. Then I wrote 'Happy Halloween' with the Horizontal Mask tool and took the letters out of the picture.This is the result.
I was just going to make this into an overlay. I had the clip art, all black and white. Then I added a semi-clear style and liked it so much better than the original.
You can use it in front (top) of another page and it looks nice. You can 'hang' things or phrases from it. Just use your imagination.
It's a 12x12" page, 300 dpi, no shadows.

This freebie was put together with different images. Some are clip art, some are shapes.
I added a background, and turned the images into a screen, with 95% opacity.
This is a full 12x12" page, 300 dpi.
I hope it's useful!

PS: have a nice weekend. It snowed like crazy here yesterday. Since it doesn't snow (usually) like that before Halloween, I wonder if it's predicting how the rest of the season is going to go.
Dear friends, I've been so preocupied with life that I was just doing fall things without realizing that Halloween is almost here. Maybe it's because I don't care much for Halloween.
In any case, I made this 12x12 overlay that you can use for fall or Halloween.
There's more coming, now that I'm on top of things again.
Just to make it different, I put a phrase on the same lid as the post prior to this one.
Because it's mostly lines, I turned the "#1 Teacher" into a sticker by adding a white border.
I've done this before, where I used bottle caps to display clip art or other stuff.
This time I took a picture of one of those Bell jar lids (since I've been bottling things I grew during summer). Looking at one of the lids one day I thought I could do something with it.
So here it is:
As you can clearly see, the final result is not the same as the original. Simply because I played a little with the picture.
First I went to the clip art layer and instead of an overlay, I used soft light, 85%. I still didn't like it, so I used the magic wand to choose some areas and used stroke 5p to make stronger lines. After that I wrote 'Fall' and used a gold style to bring it out. The final 'lid' is about 6" in diameter. 300 dpi. No shadows.
Have fun!
Patricia.
PS: I've made others using this same method. I'll share them later.
Here you have a freebie to use as a horizontal or vertical border. It's got all the beautiful colors of the season. You can add a plaid ribbon or paper to complement it.
