Make A Cloned Polygon

On my previous tute making a cloned polygon was done at Gifworks. But lately Gifworks isn't always working so came up with one that I did using Draw and Path. All I did was make one polygon over another and then rotated it and drew same numbers again and voila...... it's cloned. So so easy.

Step 1. I went to Image Magick and put on a transparent background of 260x260....

Draw....Path.... Numbers all go into box:

M150,130 110,130 80,100 80,60 110,30 150,30 180,60 180,100 150,130 180,160 180,200 150,230 110,230 80,200 80,160 110,130

CC&P the numbers from this tute. A lot easier than typing them in. Use your Find Box and put in the first number M150 CMD A and CMD C then back to I.M. and use CMD V to paste numbers into box.

Use (NO fill) STROKE color Gray and 5 or 7 for Width.

Step 2. Up to Transform and click on Rotate Right Now back to Draw and everything stays the same and just click Draw. You now have the cloned polygon.

Step 3. Go to Composite and put in a bg of your choice, I used: http://www.wtv-zone.com/MsLee/Bgs/goldglass.jpg

Use +0+0 CENTER --- ATOP and MISC.

Step 2. You can then put on a bg if you prefer and use Replace and Color (I used mistyrose)Composite an image in +0+0 Center using Over.(Take out that checkmark in Misc before you comp it). Mine in sample above was
