Let's Make a Bezier Design

Bezier is a fun way of making shapes with a curve and each line of numbers is done separately. Wish I could say put them in all at once but doesn't work that way.

1. Use a 400x370 white background. Go to Image Magick and click on BezierThere are 6 lines of numbers doing one at a time.

2. Use Stroke of 2 - color of your choice in stroke. I used #796837 (gold)

80,110 160,140 200,45

200,45 240,130 320,110

320,110 260,180 320,255

320,255 250,230 200,325

80,250 155,235 200,325

80,110 140,180 80,250

3. Go to Ellipse and use: 200,185 145,160 0,360 stroke & width same

2nd ellipse: 200,185 155,170 0,360

Step 4. Now to fit my cute pup image I resized to 500x470! Matte out center using Fuzz 7777 Floodfill and Matte. Composite the pup jpg using DstoverIf you want the same background as I used, I cropped a piece of the bg and used it in the ellipse after matting that section out and used Dstover and Misc.

You can now matte out the background and put in another color. I used a pink satin in my sample. I resized it to 350x329! That's it.
