Let's Make A Wreath


This tute will show you how you can make a wreath using a design under PC Ornaments (under Fonts) at Image Magick. I used the letters aA together. The small a is a left one and the capital A is a right one so putting them as one saves annotating twice.

I did all the figuring of numbers for a wreath on a 400x400 background and using a Circle that fit this particular design just perfectly around the circle. Using any other design I have not tried yet but if I find one I'll add to this tute.

On a 400x400 background go to Draw: 200,200 100,100 Stroke of 5 and a stroke color.

Step 1. Annotate: Use: aA Color Fill (optional) Stroke Color and Stroke of 2 Point Size 65

Now there will be eight applications of annotating.
Step 2. North +0+18
Step 3. Northwest +30+112 Rotate -43
Step 4. West +38+58 Rotate -88
Step 5. FLIP
Step 6. North +0+18 NO ROTATE
Step 7. Northwest +30+112 Rotate -43
Step 8. FLOP
Step 9. Northwest +30+112 Rotate -43
Step 10. West +38+58 Rotate -88
Step 11. FLIP
Step 12. Northwest +30+112 Rotate -43
That's it folks!

At this point you can composite a gif onto the center or matte it out and composite a jpg using Dstover.
