thanks artd and yeah thats a nice tip by Impulsive

Wow, that's already quite a nice piece.. ^^... Can't understand why you're not satisfied ?... Even the colors are pretty will (which I assume you overlayed them?... )... Maybe a little bit to much vibration... But that's just subjective ^^... TIP: To be rid of the white edges that remain, after cut...
